I'm not aware of such a thing, but what works pretty well for me is to use stgit and selectively pull chunks to patches earlier in the series and merge the top again. So its something like: - do lots of changes, commit on top of stack - open in editor, pop patch - create new patch, copy stuff from open editor - commit - go to top of stack again, merge - repeat from step 2 until patch at top is empty Its works quite fast since the merging goes really painlessly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-dev= el" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
