Subject: How to split a patch
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 10:05:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4d8e3fd30801280105g2876cedfjbe1ba323ede57e0a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,
I have a big patch that affects a single file that needs to be split in
a few logical patches.

I know ho to do the opposite process, rebase -i and squash is something
I'm really used to do but this time that trick is not going to help me.

What is the preferred way to split a big patch in a series of smaller patches?

Thanks.

Ciao,
