Hi Petr and everyone else,

as some of you may know, I am working on http://vcs-pkg.org, and
Pierre kindly alerted me to your announcement, which looks very
interesting for what we are trying to do.

Assuming a number of interdependent topic branches, does TopGit
provide a way for me to linearise/flatten/serialise these branches
in a one-patch-per-branch fashion, so that I could turn any TopGit
repository into a quilt series? I am only interested in a one-way
conversion from TopGit to quilt for now.

Should be doable, I think. At least you can get a topological sorted
list of the TopGit branches (with git show-branch --topo-order <list
of TopGit-branches>). But than it get complicated, because you don't
need the diff from branch-base to branch-head, this would only work
for a single dependent list of topic branches.

At least this is my current point of thinking for this problem.

Bert

Thank you,
