[Bug 851812] Re: [edit-patch] producing wrong file when creating patch name ending with dot

[Akbarkhon Variskhanov]

That's because the scripts attempts to normalize patch extension.
Currently, everything is stripped off until the first period, inclusive.

normalize_patch_extension() {
...
    PATCHNAME=${PATCHNAME%.*}
}

This is done to ensure that the correct extensions for quilt/dpatch/cdbs
are appended.

Your issue is valid but I'm not quite sure what the solution would be.
