This is how far I have come reading the online docu: * Each developer can create the diff-info of his commits with git format-patch * and the other developer can incorporate these changes with git am After creating the patches with format-patch one could set a tag: git tag -f patchesDone so next time one wants to create patches, this tag can be used as the s= tarting point: git format-patch patchesDone.. But what if in the meantime one has incorporated the other developer's = changes with git am? Then these changes will also be among the patches = created with format-patch. What will happen, if these patches are sent = to the other developer, who does not need his own changes again. Will h= is own changes be silently ignored by git am? Or how else to effectivel= y coordinate the work of two developers with git via email? thank you, Wolfgang --=20 Computer Bild Tarifsieger!
