I'm sure you can help git development if you post your observations to
the git list.

I see. One thing I didn't like in quilt is that I have to decide what
I'm going to do before actually changing the sources. And it's
impossible to revert changes made before the patch is created.
But I understand it's a question of habits, and everybody has different
preferences when it comes to the tools.

That's why I suggested the lightweight tree:
Makefile
drivers/
ssb/
ssb sources
net/
wireless/
bcm43xx_mac80211/
bcm43xx_mac80211 sources
The top-level Makefile finds the kernel sources and compiles against
them. It can also have maintenance targets, such as "indent".

OK, it's getting off-topic, but if you need help with stgit, please feel
free to ask.
