I might be misunderstanding, but this sounds like the answer to my
other question about getting contributors changes into trunk - what I
was asking here is how after someone has merged the changes, we can
keep track of where they came from (relying on an external repo url
is not realistic for this, in case it goes away in the future).
Aside from that, do you have a guess at how long this takes/easy it
is to do? I may be missing something, but it sounds worse than
applying a patch from JIRA :)
It's easier for the contributors which is the point. At least the ones
who want to use version control while they are working. People can
still submit patches.
I think, the natural question is: How do the Linux people handle the
legal aspects? They are certainly aware of the requirements.
Authors retain copyright and it's GPL'd. I don't think Linus much
cares beyond that, but I imagine Redhat does.
