I have no idea how to do that. I'm always just working on linux-next
and not the individual trees... I'm interested to hear from Andrew
what's easiest because I don't know at all how quilt works.
My work flow is that I have scripts to generate patches from within vim.
Most of the time I'm just working on one file but occasionally I will
combine two patches together in mutt.
For Dave's networking patches I have a separate git tree where I try to
apply them to net and then net-next to see which tree it should go into.
Otherwise, I generally assume the maintainer knows which tree they
belong in.
