2017-01-06 Thread Nish Aravamudan
Hi Ian, I've got a few questions/comments about git-based publishing imports and history for patches-applied imports that I was hoping to bounce off you and other VCS folks. I apologize for the very long e-mail to follow! For context for everyone: I (along with Robie Basak and others) have been d
