Hi,
i'm trying to keep synched two repositories without always having a  direct

I don't thinks its right to have double (or more?) commits. I would have
expected something like:


-- (first commit) -- (second commit)  -- (my patch)--(my second patch)  --
 (merge?) --


The patches were created with git-format-patch and merged with git-am.
I know that the commits have different sha1 but how can i keep with patches
or something similar the two repositories exactly synched?

If you use "git bundle" instead of format-patch, you will have an
unreadable binary blob instead of a human-readable patch, but the
sha1s will not change (since the commiter information will be the
same). The remote side will "git pull" the bundle file instead of "git
am"ing it.
