It might be better with something like "on top of a different Git commit". The first thought when reading the above is that you can move the patch stack to a different Git branch easily, which is not the case (you need to cherry-pick the patches). > + * The patch stack is just some extra metadata attached to regular > + Git commits, so you can continue to use Git tools along with > + StGit.

Maybe we could mention that the local history is also clean, not only the upstream tree (though you mention it later in a different hunk). -- Catalin -- 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
