My wish is "git rebase" always after upgrade to new
upstream code.
The current "make prep" is nightmare...
See Linux kernel. That's normal that people maintain their patches
outside official tree(s) for pretty long time. The modern VCS is the
right tool for this job.
"separate out our changes from what upstream has" .. is definitely
no problem.
Well, it depends on what you're doing. DaveJ tried to move to git
pulling the various things we need for our kernel - it ended up
being a pretty big problem getting something sane out of it, and he
ended up going back to patches.
