Ted's description matches mine (keep quilt tree in git, edit changelog entries, rebase on newer kernel versions, etc.) I can go into details if needed. > A pure patch-stack will be faster at that thing than git would be (it's > simply easier to just track patches), but on the other hand, using git > would get some other advantages outside of the integration issue (eg the > cherry-pick thing really is a proper three-way merge, not just an "apply > patch", so it can do better). I was amazed at how slow stgit was when I tried it out. I use git-quiltimport a lot and I don't think it's any slower than just using quilt on its own. So I think that the speed issue should be the same. I had a number of issues last time I tried stgit out, but maybe they are now resolved, I'll try it out tomorrow and report to the git list anything I find that doesn't work for me. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
