I wonder if there might be even better ways to support this use case in Arch.Is it the repository that's useful or the fact that you can commit? It certainly seems conceivable to have a commit-style command that would transparently create a local version of the upstream branch in your archive on the first commit.It's committing, and having everything preserved. With Arch, it's: 1. A lot of work to tag something to a local repo, do all of that crap, then merge it back later, and finally commit it back later 2. This approach loses the diffs for each individual commit that was done, at least in the master repository. -- John
Is this true if you have the command branch-this (or fork, or whatever you want to call it.) and then another simple script to do pure-merges back to the main tree?
The second is just a script, I think the one I just attached would do just what you want. You start in the main tree, it checks against the local tree for missing patches, and then applies them one at a time. It also should keep the log summary and other headers intact (and add some merge text.)
