I am, but accepting change sets from others is a pain. Our patch
handling tools are very good these days to import patches into multiple
bk trees, which is what I have to do with patches received from USB
developers.
If I was to take your changeset I would have to do the following:
- bk receive on the patch
- figure out the cset number
- either use cpcset to copy the changeset into the bk tree to
send to Linus, or export the changeset as a patch with funny
headers that looks like a fake email (a script I wrote a long
time ago) and use that to apply the patch to the other
repository.
With just a patch I can do the following:
- import it into my working tree.
- after I am happy with it, import it into the tree for Linus.
And since I handle over 100 patches a month, a simple savings of 1
manual step that requires me to think a bit is worth it :)
thanks,
