Well, I'm not comfortable with git and did not know that it is even mandatory to use for Hurd development. Where is that written down? Samuel has previously accepted quilt-based patches, but that was for debian-hurd not upstream hurd. > I will not review patches that are not sent using git, but I'm only > speaking for myself of course.
