I don't understand how one option can replace StGIT.  I assume you were
trying to avoid StGIT already, and "git-rebase -i" was just the last
missing piece.

It would be great if you could tell me how your approach would deal with
the issue of editable patches I mentioned already.  In case I was
unclear, here's the quote from one of the developers:

[quote]
Sometimes, I just make patches in quilt, then I do "quilt 
refresh", "quilt pop -a", "cd patches" and modify the patches 
and series file manually, e.g. by moving one patch from one file 
into the other. The "cd ..", "quilt push -a" and off I am. That 
the "database" of quilt is in a known format and I can hack on 
it with an editor is a plus for me :-)
