Aside from the performance issues that I am currently having with a 55 patch series, "rebase -i" (and its predecessor script from Dscho) have been a major part of my toolkit, to the point that I really don't need something like StGIT on my system. (Regarding the performance, cherry-picking 55 patches is slow, especially when many of them would apply trivially with git-diff|git-apply --index. Be nice to improve that in 1.5.4.) > 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. Oh, I'm sure there's features in StGIT that are useful that aren't available via "rebase -i". But to be honest, "rebase -i" is good enough. It just ain't fast enough.

These are a well known format and can be easily edited with "rebase -i". This is a real plus for me as the series can be edited directly in my favorite vi clone, then applied to my working directory. ;-) -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
