Particularly, where does the series of patches come from? Is this a usage scenario for stacked git (something else I don't fully understand the rationale behind as yet)? I'm imagining the developer has a local branch to which he commits his changes, and then rebases resulting in his branches being at the end of the local branch. How are they then extracted and mailed out? My next question, is supposing that the patches are reviewed and changes suggested. How does the developer then go about amending, say the second patch and getting the subsequent ones rebased off that? I'm assuming there's a nice clever way of doing it that doesn't involve manually messing with individual patch files etc. Please excuse my ignorance: I'm still getting my head around this. Once I do that I'm usually away and happy, but it takes a while for that 'click' moment to hit me sometimes :) Thanks. -- Russ
