what is the recipe (and i'm sure there is one) for starting with a stock kernel tree and making a record of a set of potentially cumulative patches? as in, starting with stock tree: 1) make some changes 2) "git diff" to record that particular change ??? 3) make some *further* changes 4) record the differential patch between the last one and this one 5) ... repeat as long as i want ... i'm guessing that, between steps 2) and 3), i would have to, what, "commit" the current patch so that it doesn't show up in the next "git diff". and, finally, i want to reset my cloned repo all the way back to its initial state, with no changes. "revert", i'm guessing. rday p.s. i don't know much about the "quilt" utility but i've been told that might be what i'm looking for as well. thanks for any guidance. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
