I'm a little stuck with this. :-/ I managed to prepare a new libcgi
patch queue and got it correctly imported in
platform-*/build-target/libcgi-1.0 where it is a git repository (ptxdist
--git extract libcgi). Using git rebase -i and some cherry picking in my
libcgi repo I got all the new patches there in the right order. I looked
into opkg-utils as suggested and saw some tags on certain changesets in
the temporary git repository, I also noticed the special markers in the
series file of opkg-utils patch queue. What I thought was: just create
similar tags, run `git ptx-patches` and you get those special markers.
However this does not work. Sure the patches are created correctly, but
the series file only contains the "ordinary" ptxdist magic without the
tag stuff.

How do I do this correctly? I'm afraid reading scripts/git-ptx-patches
does not point me to the right thing.

btw: Due to your support over the last years, I'm able to get this far,
using multiple branches, format-patch, send-email, rebase -i and this is
awesome. Thanks for that.
