For working on gitweb in git.git repository.
1. Fetch (when I am on topic branch) or pull (in rare cases I am on master)
2. "stg rebase origin"
3. work, work, work, using StGIT to generate perfect patch series
(going back and forth between patches, reordering patches, adding
patch in the middle of series, concatenating two patches, etc.; for
example when I notice that something should be changed in previous
patch, be it either bug noticed just now, or change in preparatory
patch to better suit main one)
4. fetch and rebase just between publishing
5. git format-patch to generate patch series; use git-shortlog or
grepping for patches subjects and git-diff --stat to generate
introductory email. Unfortunately StGIT template for introductory
email does have neither shortlog nor diffstat fields to atomatically
fill. Add comments to patches if needed.
6. Either use KMail + attach inline (no word wrap), or git-send-mail
(with sendmail configured to use gmail account; now I could use simply
git-send-mail configuration in user config) to send patches to git
mailing list
7. Push changes (if I don't forget) to repo.or.cz repository (jnareb-git.git).
