I agree :-). All my patches are independent of each other and are
built to apply on top of jumbo patchset. (I like to start with a clean
slate for each work since I work in a BFS fashion it seems). heh.
Can the new version control thing being discussed on the mailing list
solve or blunt this problem? Each patch living on a central server in
an independent but frequently merged branches?
