For a big patchset like this the easiest thing is to just ask Michael if he has a public git repo with the patches in (I've cc'd him). Otherwise there are a couple of tools: you can use patchwork: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/list/ (you need to search for the relevant patches and download the 'mbox' files for them to 'git am' one at a time; unfortunately patchwork doesn't yet know about patch series to let you download a series all at once). Or you can use the 'patches' tool: https://github.com/aliguori/patches That needs to be installed locally, but it does know about patch series and it can directly apply a whole series to your local git tree. For a one-off use the patchwork website is easier, since there's no need to install anything locally. (It's also more forgiving of misformatted patch emails.) If you're going to make a habit of applying patches from the mailing list, the patches tool is easier to use and will repay the up-front effort of downloading it and figuring out its UI. thanks -- PMM
