I can't speak for Plessy, but the entire concept of using a different, much more limited patch system on top of git is just.. weird. It makes absolutely no sense to dumb down all the rich metadata you have in your git repository to something that's possible to express using quilt. It's busywork that has very little value for anybody and a not-insignificant cost. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
