So things turn out to be a bit more complicated for libvirt than for
QEMU, because we have one mailing list accepting patches for 10+
different git repositories. Patches has no built-in support for this
model, so you have to create a separate configuration file for each
repo, so that it stores the patches json file separately for each
and then pass that config file when fetching


  git clone git://github.com/stefanha/patches.git

  REPOS="libvirt libvirt-designer libvirt-glib libvirt-java
         libvirt-perl libvirt-php libvirt-python libvirt-sandbox
         libvirt-snmp libvirt-tck"
  for repo in $REPOS
  do
    cat > $HOME/.patchesrc-$repo <<EOF
[options]
patches_dir=$HOME/.patches/$repo

[fetch]
url=http://libvirt.org/patches/$repo/patches.json
EOF

    cat > $HOME/bin/patchesrc-$repo <<EOF
#!/bin/sh

exec $HOME/patches/patches --config $HOME/.patchesrc-$repo \$@
EOF

    chmod +x $HOME/bin/patchesrc-$repo
  done


Now, assuming $HOME/bin is in your $PATH, you can run

 $ patches-libvirt fetch
 $ patches-libvirt list

Or to look at other repos, eg sandbox


 $ patches-libvirt-sandbox fetch
 $ patches-libvirt-sandbox list
patchesrc-libvirt-sandbox list

 $ patches-libvirt-sandbox apply id:20160323074705.GA4974 at bogon.m.sigxcpu.org

nb assumes your $CWD is the libvirt-sandbox git checkout
