I use git, from the command line and from Emacs. When I use it from Emacs, I use magit: http://philjackson.github.com/magit/ I mostly use magit to commit, and otherwise the command line to update, rebase, etc. I use gitk sometimes to get a graphical representations of "the big picture". When I make a patch and want to mail it, I use magit to commit it with a nice log. Then on the command-line I do "git format-patch origin/stable-2.0..HEAD" and that spits out one file for each commit I made that is not in upstream stable-2.0. I then attach them to mails. I use Gnus for mail, in emacs. When I receive a patch, I pipe it to a (cd ~/src/guile; git am -3). That usually applies it fine. I could save the file and use git am -3 manually tho. That's pretty much it! A -- http://wingolog.org/
