If yes what do you think? I've used it in my role as a u-boot custodian and I think it is "meh". It's ok but it really requires everyone (i.e. all maintainers) to buy into using it and to be disciplined about doing so and it does need frequent tending and gardening otherwise it tends to accumulate cruft. IME the command line clients leave something to be desired and the workflow for actually applying a patch from p/w is rather clumsy, in particular there is no easy way to access git-am's --reject option, other than using a temporary file. I don't think it would be a good fit for us. Ian.
