Hi Alex, I found that format-patch can be given a path, so that it only produces patch for it. Here is how I have prepared a new cufflinks repository:
debcheckout -a git://git.debian.org/debian-med/cufflinks.git --git-track='*' cd cufflinks/ git format-patch 0b7256275dc8b8f7495a46b6b33739573fd0d1c0 debian/ # 0b7256275dc8b8f7495a46b6b33739573fd0d1c0 is my last commit in this repository mv 00* .. git reset --hard 0b7256275dc8b8f7495a46b6b33739573fd0d1c0 git am --committer-date-is-author-date ../0001-new-debian-dir-for-cufflinks.patch git am --committer-date-is-author-date ../0002-added-headers-for-patches-according-http-dep.debian..patch uscan --force-download git import-orig --pristine-tar ../cufflinks_1.0.2.orig.tar.gz git am --committer-date-is-author-date ../0003-Imported-upstream-version-1.0.2.patch git am --committer-date-is-author-date ../0004-added-ITP-number-for-the-initial-release.patch # patches 5,6,7 were redundant… git am --committer-date-is-author-date ../0008-added-docs.patch git am --committer-date-is-author-date ../0009-added-missing-dependency.patch git am --committer-date-is-author-date ../0010-libbam-dev-provides-necessary-headers-only-from-0.1..patch git diff origin/master # Contents of the new master branch were identical to origin/master # Then I went in Alioth, and created a new empty cufflinks repository with setup-repository # I temporarly disabled its commit hook, to not spam with the following: git push --all ; git push --tags If you like the new repository, I will delete the old one. The dates are not completely consistent, but overall things look better and simpler than before. I hope that I have not horrified others more used to Subversion. The repository as it was before the correction was completely functional, and the issue that I have fixed is borderline cosmetic :) Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
