Hm, even more git+patch queue systems...

To be honest, that's exactly what I'm asking about. To my mind, a patch queue
system adds rather more complexity to the repository and I don't see any benefit
using it. I'd really be happy if anyone could at least explain the reason for
using quilt. If using pure git is not an option and you're desperately in need
of quilt, then I won't interfere (regardless of my own opinion.)

Still, I'd like to know why it's necessary for you and for that matter what
useful features are brought in by quilt.

Don't worry, I'm not going to start any discussion, if you don't want to, I was
merely dumping my thoughts on this matter and asking for an explanation.

Best regards,


Mihai
