It seems so. The thread "[PATCH] Finished Cochran dive log import" from Oct
17 has the patch.

It does make a tiny reference to a constant SAMPLE_EVENT_BATTERY from one
of my patches to libdivecomputer but that can be easily removed for the
time being.

I should compile against an older version of libdivecomputer just to be
sure.

My subsurface import supports three computer families, EMC, Commander and
Gemini.

My libdivecomputer patch only supports EMC and Commander families. It
hasn't been accepted by Jef yet.
