how to merge...

Hi...

Well, I've got the basics of importing patches from outside git now, so the next question is...

suppose I've aplpied the 2.6.16-rc1-mm3 patch into its own branch in my local git repo.

I've also created an arm26 branch from the master 2.6.16-rc1.

I want to pull some patches from the -mm3 branch into the arm26 one, as a single change.

Obviously, I could simply make a diff including just those files and apply it to my arm26 branch, but I'd prefer not to if theres a better way that allows git to keep track of what really happened.

Presumably the 'correct' fix is to import the broken up -mm patchset so git can pull only the changes relating to those files, but since Im learning and not everyone provides broken up patchsets, it'd be nice to know if theres a way to do it 'the hard way'.

Cheers!
