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

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
