I guess in this model you can do all your development with quilt, and the value of git is a high-bandwidth bransport medium to replace e-mail. >I think a clean history is worth an extra few minutes of someone's >time. And note that subsystem development is largely linear anyways. Maybe true in your neck of the woods, but not true here. I have more than a dozen topic branches in my tree, and they mature at different rates. When a topic branch is in the test tree and and a follow-up patch is needed, I check out that topic branch and put the patch exactly in non-linear 3D history where it is meant to live. When the topic seems fully baked, I can pull the top of the branch into the release tree. -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
