May I ask why you set up a separate wiki page for that?

While I think it is definitely a good idea to do that, and  appreiate
your initiative, I feat that more pages like this get scattered aound
on  may differentr servers, and it wil become very difficult to track
what's going one where.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have your pages, and similar ones for
other custodians who want this, in the context of the U-Boot page at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot ?

[Of course we should get a working patch tracking system so you don't
have to reinvent this manually. We're working on this.]

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

AFAIK I cant construct branches on the U-Boot server.
I wanted to make a branch for each patch I was working with, so
users/testers could access them.
I can do that on our wiki server. So I made the tracking table there as
well.

I'll move it to the U-Boot wiki as per your suggestion.

That's a good question. So what is the right way to maintain patches
which are not common enough to be committed into the master branch of
the git repository, but they are really useful. It would be better to
make them available to the user.

I see no principal problem why branches should not be possible. 

You can give "pit push" a refspec as argument to select a specific
branch, and you can use "--all" to push all refs.

But I have to admit that I never tested this yet (which is  thereason
why I did not reply on Peter's remark yet).

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

Yes, I tried just now and it works.
I created a branch named "blackfin" from current master branch.
I think this can satisfy Peter's requirement.
