PW automatically inserts this into the patch if you click on the
"Download: mbox" link, or is you access the patch through pwclient.

For example, instead of applying a patch directly from my mailbox I
use this file only to get the hash value for the PW entry, and then
use pwclient to apply it and to update it's state:

        HASH=$(pwparser.py --hash <$PATCH)
        if [ -z "$HASH" ]
        then
                echo "ERROR: $PATCH - no such entry in PatchWork" >&2
                exit 1
        fi

        if pwclient apply -h $HASH
        then
                pwclient update -s 'Accepted' -h $HASH
        fi

This is extremely convenient as it automatically takes care of both
the Acks and the state change.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
