Not all patches are suitable to be stored as submodules. So you have to merge anyway. topgit can automate the merging for you, it can manage your integration branch. The only difference between your workflow and the one I use for topgit right now is that I take the extra step to export the quilt series from the integration branch (which I call stage-x.y-z and it's temporary as I see no need to keep it around (yet)) and store it in the build branch, which I then tag. You could just create a tg branch depending on master (which depends on upstream) and all topic branches (which each depend on master or upstream, depending on whether they are debian-specific or for-upstream) and then tg-update on that branch would "integrate" all your features and you'd have an up-to-date integration branch to tag. I could see using a persistent stage branch for this from which I export the quilt series. That would unify the two workflows up until the last step. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "i like young girls. their stories are shorter." -- tom mcguane
