Mmmm. I do agree actually with Russ about this more than I do with Sean. I agree that for many packages keeping a rebasing patch stack is very desirable. Where I disagree with Russ is how we should store and exchange that patch stack. I think we should do that by suitable git trickery rather than by exporting and reimporting as patches. > Incidentally, where would you like to see dgit discussions?

There isn't really a user-focused list. I'm happy to have the conversation here if others don't mind. Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
