Re: Patcher: Unclear error message.

It only happens when you use M-x patcher-mail as opposed to M-x patcher-mail-subproject correct? It's good for patcher to do the sanity checking, it's just that the error messages are currently close to useless. What's your value of patcher-default-change-logs-updating when you get above error?

If you have a limited number of files to commit, try whether M-x patcher-mail-subproject RET project RET subject RET file1 file/2 works for you.
