I think at this point even if people are cherry picking patches it's
probably still going to be easier for people to work with a git tree
than anything else - the workflow for git cherry-pick, looking for
dependent patches and so on is pretty clear, the upstream commit IDs are
there if you prefer to go direct to them and if you really do want a raw
patch stack then it's easy to translate into one.
