I am using gmail web interface client. In order to apply a patch set I copy and paste each patch from the patchset into a file, and then apply that patch. I assume that there is a better way. Recently I encountered a fatal error when doing so (and I am not sure what caused it). So my question is: does anyone know a more elegant way of applying a large patchset ? Maybe there is better mail client with which this process can be done easily ? (I remember there was something called git apply-mbox in the past). Rgs, Mark
