For one of my packages, I experimented switching from quilt to feature branches as described by Manoj in http://arch.debian.org/arch/private/srivasta/ first with tla, then baz and git. I am still not convinced that merging with new upstream versions is easier than with quilt. OTOH I use git only to track my Debian packages locally and it is obvious from Daniel's post (thanks Daniel for your explanations!) in another subthread that my knowledge of git can be improved a lot. Glad that we will switch to git, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn new cool stuff :) > We'll see how it plays out, but right now the benefits of using quilt > for us seem to outweigh the downsides.
