The way I usually do it is grab the commit in GCC, and apply it as is in the GDB repository. To make it easier, I use the git mirror of the GCC repository, because I can then just add the GCC repository as one of my remotes, fetch from there, and then cherry-pick. If you prefer to work from GCC's SVN repository, just use SVN to get the diff, and re-apply it by hand in GDB's git repository. The advantage with the cherry-pick is that git does nearly all of the work (revision log, etc). -- Joel
