Hi,
I just found myself in need for backporting one trunk commit into the 1.8
branch.
Of course extracting the diff and trying to apply it as-is does not work.
Git would certainly be my friend here (specifically git-rebase).
I'm afraid you'd need to extend the Git workflow on your own.
Once you've done it, I can try to apply it in the mirror at Github.
I don't have time to discover it myself now, I'm afraid.
Sorry I think I was not clear enough : my goal is to generate a patch
for inclusion in a gdal-1.8.0 debian package [1]
No plan at all for committing it in the gdal svn after that.
I would play with my local git repo (letting git do all the hard work, I
hope) and in the end just extract a diff file.
Best regards,
Julien
