User Patch Framework

This directory contains sizable user submitted patches that were rejected from mainline as they tend to be more subjective in nature.

The patches will be adapted on each release when necessary (v4.1 onwards). Each patch can be applied through its respective make variable during compilation. In case inter-patch merge conflicts occur, a compatability patch is provided and will automatically be applied.

List of patches

Patch (a-z)	Description	Make var
gitstatus	Add git status column to the detail view. Provides command line flag -G. Requires libgit2.	O_GISTATUS
namefirst	Print filenames first in the detail view. Print user/group columns when a directory contains different users/groups.	O_NAMEFIRST

To apply a patch, use the corresponding make variable, e.g.:

make O_NAMEFIRST=1
