#patches

What if we could just.. import our patchset into Git, at the start of our session, and then export it back out as a series of patch files when we're done? That way we're effectively following the commandments of The Holy Quiltmother, but still get to keep our familiar Git UI.

"Let’s walk through the easy way, where you don’t need to learn how to really use git. In another post, we’ll cover some best practices for contributing with git."

"Patchwork is a web-based patch tracking system designed to facilitate the contribution and management of contributions to an open-source project. Patches that have been sent to a mailing list are 'caught' by the system, and appear on a web page. Any comments posted that reference the patch are appended to the patch page too. "

"The issue comes when you finally get approval for your patch and you commit it to the tree. At this point, you want to delete it from the patch series - but quilt won’t let you, because it is applied. If you pop it, then you’ll undo what you’ve just committed. So, what to do? Here’s my ad-hoc recipe"

"apply the current quilt patch to the subversion repository, commit it using the patch comments from quilt as the commit message, and remove the patch from the quilt patch series."

"Think of it as a TinyURL you can wear. Each two-by-four-inch, velcro-backed twill p8tch has a Mysterious Commando Design on the top, and a QRCode on the bottom"

"Patches that fix known, documented problems in certain browsers."
