Hi,

I hesitate to post this to the public list since it's significantly 
off-topic, but...

I'm looking at maintaining some merged kernel patches from a variety of 
projects and looking at using git to do so.  If you don't mind me 
asking, can you briefly describe how you use git to maintain aufs and 
any gotchas/tips you have discovered while using git for this?

What I *think* you have done is forked the linux kernel, then you 
develop in your favourite kernel branch (.37 or whatever), and finally 
there is some magic going on to merge your changes with upstream and 
other branches?  What I think you must be doing is a "git cherry-pick" 
to grab the individual commits from the upstream kernel branch?  Then I 
guess you are checking out all the individual kernel tree versions and 
merging the aufs changes from your development branch - however, that's 
showing up as a merge rather than a cherry-pick, so slightly curious 
what your workflow is there also?

Basically mostly interested in how you track the upstream kernel commits 
(presumed to be a cherry-pick?) and any tips you have learned to do this 
efficiently?

Thanks

Ed W
