agreed. however, the way we use git, with the location of the git DB as the "tag", it's not really a problem in practice. but tagging each branch separately is indeed a PITA... > >anyway, what do you think? is there anyway i could > >convince you to dump the backport patches and put > >all the backports in branches? i'm willing to do the > >legwork if you see value... > > Can you publish the scripts and/or the tree? > I think we can start by just running the scripts nightly, > making it possible for people to view backport history > with gitview. i've attached the script that i'm using to compare the trees, but it's a total hack. it doesn't keep the patch history. that would not be too hard to do i guess -- if there's interest... to run the script: <cp attached files here...> $ git clone git://git.openfabrics.org/~mst/ofed_kernel.git ofed_kernel $ cd ofed_kernel $ for b in `cat ../ofed-backports.txt`; do ../create-backport.sh $b; done now you'll have a bunch of backport-2.6.xxx branches... arthur
