That's correct. gbp pq is equivalent to maintaining the upstream patches as a Git branch that you rebase against each new upstream version. You retain some history of changes to those commits (unlike a pure git rebase branch) in commit messages of the exported patches, but only as the commit messages on commits of diffs (so not hugely human-readable). > "gbp pq" is probably way better then using quilt however. I like it because quilt is a fairly primitive revision control system, so while it has tools for rebasing patches, they're not very good compared to git rebase. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
