I have some updates for the series pending, but I'm waiting for the
preliminaries (test fixes, the errno stuff) to hit master.

How do other folks deal with dependencies between topics?

Not very well, but maybe this works for you.

If I had say a "ab/reftable" locally and it depended on
"ab/refs-errno-fixes" I'd rebase ab/refs-errno-fixes on top of
ab/reftable, and set the upstream info ("git branch --set-upstream-to")
to my pushed version of ab/reftable.

Thus "git log @{u}.." in "ab/reftable" gives me changes as of the
"ab/refs-errno-fixes" "base" topic, and git-format-patch/send-email will
send patches as of that topic.

Of course when you send this to the list you need to make that
dependency relationship clear, as in my just-submitted re-roll of
your/my refs.c errno changes:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87im1d156t.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ (local)

I have no idea if/how this would work with gitgitgadget, which I think
you exclusively use.
