Yep, stuff like that is what I had in mind for this category. > Others patches should be fine and it should be possible to just add them > automatically, the header of the patch (lines before ^---$) being used > as the git comment. Yes. I'll (have to) examine each one individually, though -- I already have a bunch of them in my local Git glibc topic branches (from the last time I was trying to get this repository populated), and I hope / guess that I can simply convert these blobs into TopGit patches, and later diff them against the respective Debian patches to confirm that there are no functional differences. > About that git comment, it should probably be preserved, so it can be > included automatically in patches in Debian and for submission. I guess > TopGit supports that? Right, that's how I understand it, and what I had in mind. Regards, Thomas
