I think at this point even if people are cherry picking patches it's probably still going to be easier for people to work with a git tree than anything else - the workflow for git cherry-pick, looking for dependent patches and so on is pretty clear, the upstream commit IDs are there if you prefer to go direct to them and if you really do want a raw patch stack then it's easy to translate into one. --IMjqdzrDRly81ofr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXg9NRAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQ1lEH/ieXpj2iv7VG9uReAOhTW4jK FDKZ67NcJ7VghTtfSlfJoeLMgVmQK1F9MTlE0noQ96+McdG+Wdgsrt4YMp90pyB2 1rtfOx+nzplLg27Bt7IKZKAU2pZrTpAykwDCOKeiF0izZ0C+rrZOvHiYV7pctYoU HCv0IHH1dfuJPSzXAGiRfHPjz+swNofakGIsDDmZLZeCJj8SxX5L2huPE5S91kBV XypXQMKZ9ahE2ybLpvcQ4tDDspZ6pfY3sPTk5ZTknM+gwTl8jYQDWLYOpBqVLHGf EUAOxhZkU5rHVODaN9yAe0HJBx6mMzYkuGx1/TZQNCAcltHnlLGjxhVM7QKc7cE= =/9pw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --IMjqdzrDRly81ofr--
