I like using "guilt" because I can easily reapply the patchset using "guilt push -a", which is just slightly fewer characters to type than "git-quiltimport". This also means that I don't need to switch back and forth between "git mode" and "quilt mode" when I'm editing the patches (either directly by editing the patch files, in which case afterwards I do a "guilt pop -a; guilt push -a", or by using "guilt pop", "guilt push", and "guilt refresh"). "guilt push -a" is a little bit slower than "quilt push -a", but not enough to be seriously annoying. And besides, "guilt pop -a" is slightly faster than "quilt pop -a". Using guilt is also nice because there is a bit of additional backup for previous work via the git reflogs, although to be honest I've rarely needed to use it. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
