When I generated the patch file for autoconf I got the following text:

It seems that in parkes quilt was not generating the "Index:" entry. Should I leave the in and do the DEP-3 headers go before or after this "Index:" line?

Thanks

I should have mentioned that the quilt tutorial examples show the "Index:" line. The last update to the tutorial was 2006.

Should I leave the in and do the DEP-3 headers go before or after
this "Index:" line?

I believe it's a hint for patch that overrides the path lines below it.
Just leave it in and put the DEP-3 header as usual at the top of the
file.
