- be able to easily rebase/refresh a patch
That's pretty outside the scope of any SCM we deploy. Use tools like
quilt.
- be able to keep track of details about patches (author,
committer,
some special marks (e.g. "signed-of-by", "reviewed-by", ...)
You can do this in the patches themselves.
- be able to generate statistics about patches (diffstat)
Erm... just use diffstat? What does that have to do with the SCM?
- be able to generate change logs
- be able to generate patches (to avoid unwanted "creativity", it'd
be nice to use same format for all Fedora patches)
Generate patches from what? We don't store exploded tarballs. We
store tarballs and patches.
