Format-patch is the *safest* way, but the following should also work, though I haven't tested it yet: Clone the regenerated repo to a new repo (don't delete the old one yet!). Create a new branch from the target branch in the new repo. In the old repo, rebase the private branch on the head of the target branch (you'll want to do this before running format-patch, too). Back in the new repo, git pull the private branch into the new branch you just created. Rebase it onto the head of the target branch. Can we have the gitolite repo available for a few days to test out procedures like this before we recreate the Github repo so that we can have good instructions on the wiki page?
