{pts/1}% stg version Stacked GIT 0.8.1 git version 1.1.6 Python version 2.4.2 (#2, Jan 30 2006, 18:33:58) [GCC 4.0.2 (4.0.2-1mdk for Mandriva Linux release 2006.1)]
Apparently stg branch is implemented as
- - pop all patches - - do git checkout branch - - push all patches
unfortunately it results in changing timestamp of all patched files causing sometimes long recompilations. What I just had was:
- - I have several local patches for kernel that I keep in separate branches; I also have one branch that I pick patches into and that I keep in sync with upstream.
- - I pulled 2.6.15.4 stable and recompiled. In the process I noticed a trivial error in one file
- - I created new branch, put fix in there, switched to my main branch, picked patch and did make. It resulted in recompilation of *everything* that was touched by *any* patch.
Sometimes it may be quite time consuming. Notice that git checkout does not have this problem - it sets timestamp exactly to the one in index. It would be nice if stg did the same.
