Re: [PATCH 7/7] Use a separate directory for patches under each branch subdir

A separate stg command for this would be useful. Anyway since the
repository structure might change again in the future, I think it
would be better to have a version string saved somewhere in
.git/patches/version for reference.

note that we have the same problem with .git/patches that this patch 
fixes in the .git/patches/<series> directories; namely, that if we add 
files in .git/patches, we can't have branches with the same names.

i was thinking of perhaps creating a .git/stgit subdirectory that might 
contain the config file, an stgit metadata version file, and perhaps any 
locally modified copies of the template files.
