This is actually already in my maint branch: git://repo.or.cz/git/spearce.git http://repo.or.cz/r/git/spearce.git The best way to know if a given patch has been applied is to just fetch every so often and look. But you are also subscribed to the mailing list and there's usually a weekly "What's in git.git" and a "What's cooking in git.git" messages sent describing the recent changes. Monitoring these can also tell you when it may be a good time for you to pull in a more recent version. My last What's in/What's cooking messages were sent out on Monday. I've got a lot of stuff from folks since then going into my tree (the above is one of them) so I'll probably wrap up this week with another set of messages tomorrow. Of course the maintainer could send an email for every patch that he/she applies, but the mailing list volume is already quite high. Junio (and myself) both prefer to not bother responding to accepted patches when they come from regular contributors, as we know the regular contributor will be pulling in the near future anyway. -- 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
