> Honestly, I'm 120 patches in at this point. Someone's going to have to be really convincing to have a better name than folio.

A little trick: doing a rename over all of the 120 patches might be done in just under a minute ;) What I'd do here is:

```
git format-patch -120 --stdout > 1.patch
sp folio my_better_name
git am -3 1.patch
```

Read `sp` as `sed`.

For the sake of completeness: sp is my alias to sed_perl, which in turn is a wrapper over perl to replace text in files https://github.com/Hi-Angel/dotfiles/blob/140c78951502754... I was at some point annoyed by discrepancies in behavior between grep, sed, awk, and what not, and migrated to using perl + ack (a perl version of grep). Never looked back.

So… hopefully this will help.
