I find it very useful. It is much more responsive than stgit and it actually has a git backend which quilt does not. git-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jsipek/guilt.git There is a tutorial associated with guilt which explains the commands pretty well. The only thing that I find a problem with guilt is sometimes I forget to pop/push the patches to the right place before editing them. Actually that is less of a problem with guilt and more of a problem with me :) Two of the main features that I find very useful since I track the head of Linus's tree are guilt-rebase and then guilt-patchbomb for sending patches.
