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.
The problem with stgit is that you lose the history of the patches.
This is why the stable kernel queue is also kept as a git repository
of patches.
What i used to do with
http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?p=ci-to-linus.git;a=summary
is after doing stg refresh, push all the patches and then commit the
diff between the head of the master (which is managed by stgit ) and one
of the tracking branches to the tracking branch. That way the history of
the patches can be tracked in the tracking branches. In my previous mail
i have marked the below urls as eg:
http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?h=2.6.20-rc1-ci-to-linus;p=ci-to-linus.git;a=shortlog
http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?h=2.6.19-rc1-ci-to-linus;p=ci-to-linus.git;a=shortlog
