Information about the package, stgit, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The stgit package is designed for, Patch stack for Git repositories.
Package Name:
stgit
Summary:
Patch stack for Git repositories
Description:
StGIT is a Python application providing similar functionality to Quilt (i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of GIT. These operations are performed using GIT commands and the patches are stored as GIT commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGIT patches into other repositories using standard GIT functionality. Note that StGIT is not an SCM interface on top of GIT and it expects a previously initialised GIT repository (unless it is cloned using StGIT directly). For standard SCM operations, either use plain GIT commands or the Cogito tool but it is not recommended to mix them with the StGIT commands.
