Obviously, for dgit to be useful, it has to define a standard
interchange format. That format has to be patches-applied because
otherwise naive users can't work with the source code properly.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that a maintainer who likes to work
with patches-unapplied trees has to change their workflow to use dgit.
I have a work-in-progress dgit branch which will convert,
automatically, a patches-unapplied branch, to a patches-applied
branch, during dgit push. The maintainer never has to look at the
patches-applied branch, but it appears on the dgit git server for
other dgit users to see.
