No, I don't want git.
It's too heavy. And it has major problems when John rebases his
tree upstream.
With quilt and my scripts I can easily push them upstream to linville,
easily publish them on my server. All a matter of typing one command.
Going back to old patches works perfect with quilt.
And I am not going to maintain out of tree stuff anyway.
:)

Yes, I looked at stgit before writing my own set of scripts on top
of quilt. And I found out that it doesn't quite fit my needs.

But thanks for the suggestion, anyway.
