Putting them under a separate revisions repository, i.e. having a .git/patches/,git directory?

Doing it the above way wouldn't be of much help with gitk. You would get files like .git/patches/master/patchX/top etc. under revision control which only contain some hash strings, not meaningful. With GIT you have the advantage of being able to specify the DAG structure. It is pretty simple to just link the commit objects corresponding to a patch into a DAG and using gitk would allow you to navigate through the history and also look at the diff itself. -- Catalin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed Nov 02 08:30:43 2005
