How does that work with multiple developers? I find that git's cherry-pick and history editing features to be almost as easy to use as quilt when it comes to managing patches; added to the ease of distributed development I think it has a clear edge over quilt. [I used to use quilt to cherry pick out of the subversion tree. Nowadays I just cherry pick what I want to send upstream and put it on a branch] -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
