Hi All,
I was looking at ext4 patch queue and was wondering why we are putting
.patch under git. If we are looking for a quilt like functionality, one
can achieve the same using stgit. I was using stgit to maintain a set of
patches before. So if you look at
http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?p=ci-to-linus.git;a=summary
you will see the patches i was working on with linus tree as from-linus.
Now to find out what changes were made to these patches during the
development one can look at the tracking branch. In the above case the
latest tracking branch was 2.6.20-rc1-ci-to-linus
http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?h=2.6.20-rc1-ci-to-linus;p=ci-to-linus.git;a=shortlog
Other tracking branches at different development stages can be found at
http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?p=ci-to-linus.git;a=heads
This make looking at the diff much easier. diff of .patch does seems to
be useful.
Only problem i can think of is how multiple people will push to the same
repo.
