> Dear list,

while I appreciate, that you dig this topic up. I think you are trying to solve the wrong problem first. My main problem with the TopGit approach is, that you can't freely change the dependencies of a topic. This may be not the most common case in distro development. But in my eyes more problematic than maintaining the meta data.

Please note, that I'm more than aware the the TopGit approach for handling the meta data is awful and we need a new way here. My personal impression is, that the git notes is the best we can have.

For my first mentioned problem, I think a new 'system' needs to be 'rebase' based, not merge based like TopGit.
