When 2.6.25 is being released.
You can combine several commits into one in a few ways. Of course the
combined commit is an entirely new one (with its own SHA1 etc.). One
possible way:
# you are at <commit0>
$ git cherry-pick --no-commit <commit1> # apply but don't commit yet
$ git cherry-pick --edit <commit2> # apply, edit the changelog, commit
There will now be a <commit3> whose parent is <commit0>. <commit3>
incorporates changes of <commit1> and <commit2>.
Another way:
# you are at <commit0>
$ patch < ~/diff-from-somewhere
$ git commit --amend # replace <commit0> by new amended commit
There will now be a <commit4> instead of <commit0>, with the same
parent(s) which <commit0> had. <commit4> incorporates changes of
<commit0> and the diff.
However, I am no expert on doing these things in git since I only
develop with quilt. I use git only to publish the state of development
and the state for upstream merge.
