Hi all,

I would like to have some advice on how to manage my git tree, patches 
that I pick on this list (EP93XX related) and patches that I would 
like to submit (TS-72XX related).

First of all I would like to know what tools people are using, I've 
read about stg [1][2] and it looks to me that it fits well my needs.

Next, I'm would like to know the best strategy to track the latest 
patches from linux-arm and at the same time work on my own patches.
Should I create a branch, say ep93xx, that track linux tree and on 
which i apply the EP93xx patches, and set up another branch, say 
ts72xx, that track the ep93xx branch? Or should i use only one branch 
and use "stg import" for patches I'm not the author and "stg new" for 
my own work.

Using stg import/new looks interesting, but then if I want to submit 
my patches by email, stg will send all the patch part of the series 
including the one that I've imported but that's not what I'm looking for.

Any help, advice or point-out appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
