    Btw, on that note: if some quilt user can send an "annotated history file"
    of their quilt usage, it's something that git really can do, and I'll see
    if I can merge (or rather, coax Junio to merge) the relevant part of stgit
    to make it possible to just basically get "quilt behaviour" for the parts
    of a git tree that you haven't pushed out yet.

    A pure patch-stack will be faster at that thing than git would be (it's
    simply easier to just track patches), but on the other hand, using git
    would get some other advantages outside of the integration issue (eg the
    cherry-pick thing really is a proper three-way merge, not just an "apply
    patch", so it can do better).

    It wasn't the original goal of git, but not only are really doing all the
    series management anyway (that is largely what "rebase" is all about,
    after all), but the git goals have obviously expanded over time too.
