Topic branch with git solve this very same problem, one can easily extract the path with git diff topic-branch upstream > Having the same patches only in .diff.gz is a way to forget them and i > think git integration will help to forget. I also believe that topic branch can serve this role: one have only to look at what topic branch exist to remember what patch are needed for upstream. I believe the argument for only debian/patches in .diff.gz is not for us internally, but for security.and others that might want to help us sending a patch or something: they do have some logical information on the modification we have done on upstream code, that they won't have without using our git repository in the fat .diff.gz configuration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
