Hello Steve, > My question is whether there is git functionality to replace quilt. > Or is the combination of quilt and git common? I think we can use interactive rebase[1] as well as 'git am'[2] (am = apply mail) to apply a series of patches from a mailbox. In the case of, let's say a dependency missing on your end, you can do an interactive rebase using 'git rebase -i' to edit your _mini-commits_ which you will be making on applying the patches to include the dependencies. One can also 'squash' commits together(i.e. meld multiple commits into one) in case you want a smaller commit history or you think there is a redundancy in any of your commits. BTW, I think that 'git quiltimport' is quite old now right? And maybe even obsolete?
