I would like to have a way so easily track patches against the cvs state of a
package with the possibility to do private commits and an easy way to merge
them to the official branch or show them others in a way that they can easily
merge them. This would make co-maintaining packages a lot easier imho.
Also it should not take that long to to get a diff like it does with cvs.
It would be also helpful, if it was possible to checkout only the active
branches of a package instead and when this would be the default beheaviour
when one checks out a package. Maybe this could be achieved with an "active"
and an "archive" branch of /rpms/<package> for each package in some scms. The
active branch would currently only include F-{7,8,9} EL-{4,5} and devel.
Another thing that comes to my mind, would be an easy way to merge changes
from devel to the F-? branches. E.g. the scm could track when one merged from
devel to F-9 the last time and make it possible to merge these changes to the
F-9 branch easily, even when the F-9 branch contains changes that are not in
devel.
