(I know, I should have directly commented on that page, and I would
have, if there would have been a way to do so. ;-) )

"One of the talks I went to at OSCON was about using mq: patch queue
management on top of mercurial, a la quilt."
...
"Inspired by this talk, I checked out stgit, since I tend to use
cogito as my personal version control system of choice these days for
various reasons."

You don't say what those reasons are; presumably you were already
using git  and cogito, so trying stgit was the most efficient path.

Nonetheless, I am interested in the reasons why you apparently did not
consider using Mercurial and mq, that seem to have the features you
need, and are mostly written in Python.

It's not that one always aspires to a wholly Pythonic world (well, not
when fully awake, at least ;-) ), but if the tools are Pythonic, it
should be easier hacking *on* them, instead of just with them, if and
when needed.

I've heard that some people have a saying: "Pain is weakness leaving
the body." If that's true, then fear is also weakness leaving the
mind. So, go ahead and do what you are afraid you can't. It is not the
way to an easy life, only a worthwhile one. -- Phillip J. Eby, August
