The abstractions are really nice (and I still wonder how StGIT
codebase increased that much when all I needed two years ago was a
simple script-like application to reorder commits :-)).

Anyway, I don't really like the idea of an additional commit (I don't
even like the old patch log implementation) when the stack is
modified. It needs some profiling but it has a visible impact on
stacks with a big number of patches (my last kernel release at
www.linux-arm.org/git had 80 patches and it takes a lot of time to
push them).

Can we not use some of the automatic reflog recording that GIT does
instead of writing a commit? It's cheaper to write a text file than
generating a commit. In my kernel repository I have several branches
with many patches and, even after "git gc" and repacking, it is still
slow (mainly because of git-read-tree but I'd like to reduce the
number of calls to GIT).
