I prefer the "loom" approach in Bazaar.
Yeah, rebase being very cool is sometimes abnormally used, so I'm not sure you have choosen the right git counterpart to the bzr's loom feature. It should be compared with topgit instead, which self-maintained source package is a real demonstration (see README.source, README.gz is also very helpful ;-) of how topgit can be used for maintaining your patch queue. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
