;;; Notes:
;;
;; Users are strongly encourage to add functionality to this file.
;; In particular, epatch needs to be enhanced to work with multi-file
;; patches. The present file contains all the infrastructure needed for that.
;;
;; Generally, to to implement a new multisession capability within Ediff,
;; you need to tell it 
;;
;;	1. How to display the session group buffer.
;;	   This function must indicate which Ediff sessions are active (+) and
;;	   which are finished (-).
;;	   See ediff-redraw-directory-group-buffer for an example.
;;	   In all likelihood, ediff-redraw-directory-group-buffer can be used
;;	   directly or after a small modification.
;;	2. What action to take when the user clicks button 2 or types v,e, or
;;	   RET.  See ediff-dir-action.
;;	3. Provide a list of pairs or triples of file names (or buffers,
;;	   depending on the particular Ediff operation you want to invoke)
;;	   in the following format:
;;	  	((obj1 obj2 [optional obj3]) (...) ...)
;;	   Actually, the format of this list is pretty much up to the
;;	   developer. The only thing is that it must be a list of lists.
;;	   Also, keep in mind that the function ediff-prepare-meta-buffer
;;	   (which see) prepends nil in fron of each list (i.e., the above list
;;	   will become ((nil obj1 obj2 ...) (nil ...) ...).
;;	   Ediff expects that your function (in 2 above) will arrange to
;;	   replace this prepended nil (via setcar) with the actual ediff
;;	   control buffer associated with an appropriate Ediff session.
;;	   This is arranged through internal startup hooks that can be passed
;;	   to any of Ediff major entries (such as ediff-files, epatch, etc.).
;;	   See how this is done in ediff-dir-action.
;;	4. Write a function that makes a call to ediff-prepare-meta-buffer
;;	   passing all this info. 
;;	   You may be able to use ediff-directories-internal as a template.
;;	5. If you intend to add several related pieces of functionality,
;;	   you may want to keep the function in 4 as an internal version
;;	   and then write several top-level interactive functions that call it
;;	   with different parameters.
;;	   See how ediff-directories, ediff-merge-directories, and
;;	   ediff-merge-directories-with-ancestor all use
;;	   ediff-directories-internal. 
;;
;; In case of multifile patching, the easiest thing is to first apply the patch
;; and then find out which files were patched (using the algorithm utilized by
;; Unix patch and by parsing the patch file). The procedure ediff-patch-file
;; works for single-file patches only. However, it can deal with remote and
;; compressed files. Check out ediff-patch-file for details.
;;
;; Another useful addition here could be session groups selected by patterns
;; (which are different in each directory). For instance, one may want to
;; compare files of the form abc{something}.c to files old{something}.d
;; which may be in the same or different directories. Or, one may want to
;; compare all files of the form {something} to files of the form {something}~.
;;
;; Implementing this require writing an collating function, which would pair up
;; appropriate files. It will also require a generalization of the functions
;; that do the layout of the meta- and differences buffers and of
;; ediff-dir-action.
