Hi,
As I know quilt is used by maintainers. But kernel source code is
maintained in git repo. So I want to know how git and quilt work
together.

I have found a video in which Mr. GregKH has explained how he applies
patches to the stable tree. But this video is short and needs several view to
understand what is going on.

Do you have questions about it?

In mutt I have seen that a mail sent by Mr. GregKH has  quilt mail as user
agent and git-send-email as x-mailer. It means he is using
git-send-email as a backend for quilt mail.

Last but not least, I think if a developer starts using quilt to
maintain his diferent versions of a patch, it will ease a maintainer
job.

I'm in the process of making developers available upto minute code under
change.So duplicate patch problem can be solved.

What duplicate patch problem?

So I request kernel experts their words.

What question do you have?

thanks,

greg k-h
