FWIW, I have written a couple of scripts to help moving stuff around
between patches. Those are not yet integrated in stgit proper, and it
happens that the 0.13 tarball does not contain them, they are only
available from the git tree (better use my tree[1], since I updated them
recently).
Most notably relevant to this use are stg-fold-files-from and
stg-dispatch, to move diff hunks between patches. They only cases
(off the top of my hand) where they do not fit my needs are:
- when I need to move a part of a diff hunk that is not possible to
isolate using -U<n> (but I have read interesting things about git-gui
for such functionnality, so that will surely come one day)
- when I need to move git-specific diff hunks (moves, permissions,
etc.), since it uses filterdiff, which is not git-aware (yet ?)
(in short, there are lots of dev to do in/around stgit, but there are
not as many contributors as there is for git - hint, hint ;)
If there are other typical situations where they need to edit patches,
I'd be interested to hear about them. Not to avoid implementing patch
edition in stgit, since it is occasionally useful to fix a typo when
reviewing at refresh time, but to see what higher-level tools we could
provide.
