Hi folks,

When I am using latest git-quiltimport, I met following errors. 

$git-quiltimport --dry-run --author "Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>" --patches "/home/roc/mm-tree/patches" 
/usr/local/bin/git-quiltimport: 114: Syntax error: Missing '))'

Could you please help me on this?

Thanks
-Bryan Wu

While at it, would it be hard to add --fast option which would make
git-quiltimport to use git-fast-import mechanism?

oh, can this fix the bug?
I am trying to import -mm series patch set to a git tree. Is there any
git command similar with quilt push/pop? I am trying StGit, but it can't
recognize the commits from git-quiltimport. Could you give me some
hints?

Thanks

Oh, maybe guilt is a good choice.

You could either import with 'stg import --series' directly or, if you
had already done git-quiltimport, just run 'stg uncommit -n ...'
passing it the number of commits you want transformed in patches.

Note that with a huge series like the -mm one, the git tools like
StGIT (or guilt, but haven't tried it) are much slower compared to
plain quilt.
