SYNOPSIS
# import a module:
% git-cpan clone Foo::Bar
% cd Foo-Bar
# hack and submit to RT
# it's probably best to work in a branch
% git checkout -b blah
... hack lib/Foo/Bar.pm ...
% git commit -am "blah"
% git-cpan sendpatch
# update the module
# this automatically rebases the current branch
% git-cpan update
DESCRIPTION
Git::CPAN::Patch provides a suite of git commands aimed at making trivially easy the process of grabbing any distribution off CPAN, stuffing it in a local git repository and, once gleeful hacking has been perpetrated, sending back patches to its maintainer.
GIT-CPAN COMMANDS
Clone a CPAN module's history into a new git repository
Import a module into a git repository.
Use git-send-email
to submit patches to CPAN RT
Create patch files and submit then to RT
Import the latest version of a module and rebase the current branch
Format patches using cpan/master
as the origin reference
Combine multiple commits into one patch
Report upon the managed module
