We recently switched to using git to manage our debian package of ofbiz. Then, after 6 months, I did an upgrade to a newer snapshot. It took me just half a day to do that. I'm currently maintaining a single version of webslinger, that installs into 595296, 811564, and 902021. I am also maintaining all those ofbiz versions. The latter 2 are maintained in git. It's been my policy to only put things in the package that first get added to trunk. This makes cherry-picking simpler, and, when I eventually upgrade, I can throw away all the old versions, and just go to trunk. I can also push the local branch into our internal git, then do a checkout on production if I need to do some special fixes or production.
