Hm, yeah, thanks, but I think, if I were to do this, I would just do a
local script, that would
cp -al v4l-dvb pull
cd pull
hg pull -u <tree-to-pull>
for $mail in @mails {
hg extract $mail | mail ...
}
cd ..
rm -rf pull
and just mail the patches to me locally. But I don't think I'd be doing
this, I don't have the time. I'll just subscribe to the commits ML and
live with the fact, that the delta between patches in hg and in mainline
git will grow, as more patches in hg wil have to be fixed by incremental
patches, which you then will merge before importing into git...
Thanks
