I have some kind of a 'meta question' not exactly regarding git.

What's the best way to get patches sent to this list in a form suitable for 'git am' without subscribing to this list ?

TIA
   Stefan

Subscribe to gmane.comp.version-control.git on news.gmane.org with your favorite news reader and browse the list whenever you feel like it.

Do you know how stubborn firewall administrators can be ?

IOW, that's unfortunately not an option for me.

If it's only the occasional patch - (I see you're on gmail too), show original and copy-and-paste into an editor with tabs set up appropriately. Works for me.

Junio's blog[1] shows he's looking at patchwork. Personally I think it would be fantastic to have a public patchwork server available. It might avoid the chicken and egg problem in that it's currently easier (for some people) to get hold of a patch to play with / review only after it's accepted.

That said, I think including a link to a repo/branch from which the current version of a patch series could be fetched would be an amazingly useful addition to most [PATCH 0/n] cover-letters...

If you find the article on the web with gmane, add '/raw' onto the end of direct link URL. E.g. to get:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/102874

use:

  curl http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/102874/raw | git am

One of the things I want to do with Gerrit 2 is teach it to read a mailing list and convert patches it receives into temporary branches that can be fetched over git://, and also create records in its web database so reviews can be done on the web interface, then let it CC the list back with a proper In-Reply-To when comments are posted on the web to a change it received by email.

IOW, I want to make Gerrit 2 useful to the git community to monitor patch state without changing our current email based workflow. But I'm still a good two or three months from being able to do that. Android's workflow is higher priority to me right now.

git am

Now that was helpful! Exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks, Stefan
