Hi,
I wanted to see if I could start using stgit instead of quilt, so I tried to import my current set of kernel patches.
After giving up on the "import a series" option, I just created a mbox of all of them using quilt and tried to import that. Unfortunately that didn't work either: $ stg import -M ~/linux/patches/mbox Checking for changes in the working directory ... done Importing patch "add-my-version-to-the-kernel" ... done Importing patch "stupid-patch-for-my-laptop-whi" ... done Importing patch "gregs-test-driver-core-sysfs-s" ... done Importing patch "detect-atomic-counter-underflo" ... done Warning: Message does not contain any diff stg import: No diff found inside the patch
I'm using the .13 version if that matters.
The mbox contains 177 kernel patches against Linus's current tree (2.6.23-rc3-git5), and is available at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/misc/gregkh-stgit-import-mbox.gz if anyone wants to test it out and see what I was doing wrong.
Any hints?
Oh, I do have some suggestions as to the naming of the patch from a mail file, as limiting this to a small number of characters like stgit currently does will not work out for a lot of my patches, but I'll wait until I can actually import the thing before I look into that :)
thanks,
