I don't understand why you need to keep patches when git gives you the power to store your code in its own branches/stashes. Arguably, git commits have more information than a simple patch diff. That's why I use git format-patch. The default directory is the top of
the git repository. All patches there should be ignored.
I know I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but I've been using git practically since it was released -- for kernel and dARPA projects. So I'm probably using older techniques, such a preparing my patch series for email as was originally intended. Moreover, I don't find keeping a lot of branches and commits around in the git tree very helpful. Many of my patches here are 2 years old and need a lot of massaging to re-commit. So rebase causes a lot of pain. Much easier to edit the textual patch visually, then git am. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Nfs-ganesha-devel mailing list Nfs-ganesha-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs-ganesha-devel
