I assume you were trying to avoid StGIT already, and "git-rebase -i" was just the last missing piece. It would be great if you could tell me how your approach would deal with the issue of editable patches I mentioned already. In case I was unclear, here's the quote from one of the developers: [quote] Sometimes, I just make patches in quilt, then I do "quilt refresh", "quilt pop -a", "cd patches" and modify the patches and series file manually, e.g. by moving one patch from one file into the other. The "cd ..", "quilt push -a" and off I am. That the "database" of quilt is in a known format and I can hack on it with an editor is a plus for me :-) [end of quote] -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
