(Auto-)update patch #614

Description

@ben-edna

When using dfetch update it would be nice to have the possibility to auto-update the patch.
Because sometimes the patch fails because line nrs don't match.

Otherwise a cleaner procedure with user interaction to pull in the remote version and restore the changes applied previously. Something along the lines of:

  • if there are local changes
  • User runs dfetch update --some-flag MyModule
  • dfetch stores current state of module
  • dfetch force updates the module (in some tmp repo?)
  • dfetch restores the old state of the tmp folder
  • dfetch generates new patch at patch location
