So maybe we could use some new thing here with cleaner UI. Perhaps: git export Paired with a new "git import" there would be a much more obvious way of working for new users than "git format-patch" and "git am". Meanwhile, I don't think export/import is the right place to do the patch-id filtering, etc. That seems to work much better in the context of something like StackedGit, (which I've started playing with recently and been very impressed with). I'd really like to think about some ways to bring some of the functionality of StackedGit into the core tools. (We've currently got "git commit --amend" for example, but what I often want is "git goto old-commit; #hack; git commit --amend; git replay" or whatever, (in Stacked Git speak that is currently "stg goto old-commit; #hack; stg refresh; stg push --all"). -Carl
