In my projects, I tend to never have a complete kernel tree under
revision control, only patches in a form suitable for 'quilt mail'.
This makes it a lot easier to see how the patches will look when they
get merged upstream.

If you like, I can give you a copy of the scripts that I use to maintain
the quilt tree I maintain for the cell kernel.
