Up and running. See http://source.denx.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
Great, thanks.
Contributors who are used to Quilt could also use StGIT as one of the porcelains ('stg clone http://source.denx.net/git/u-boot.git u-boot'). It might simplify the patches maintenance/submission ('mail' command available as well).
True. I have to admit that I didn't look into StGIT yet - do you use it? Any comments?
I use StGIT for my Linux patches on top of the mainline kernel and I find it quite useful for keeping my changes in separate logical commits (which can be updated). I'm probably not the right person to praise it since I'm the one who wrote/maintains it :-).
Anyway, it is useful mainly for contributors that expect their patches to be merged upstream. For the maintainer would make sense only on a development/testing branch where patches are imported and validated before being pushed to the stable branch.
I will make a new release this weekend with an updated README describing its usage since the tool evolved and the documentation is a bit outdated.
