Just my 2 cents... you said in a 2006 discussion that you don't use Git
because you modify and drop patches often. I'd like to point out that
newer Git releases support interactive rebasing, which can do very nice
things:
- reorder commits (also adds '<<<', '===', '>>>' merge-like stuff when
that fails, so you can fix it easier)
- squash a commit into the previous -> solves the "patch that fixes
another patch" problem.
- edit commits different than HEAD
That is all doable with 'git-rebase -i'.

But maybe you got used to quilt and changing requires more effort at
the beginning, so I'm not going to argue too much.

I hope this helps.


	Cheers,
	Eduard
