Okay, tacking on some more imaginary features on top of this, let's say=20 it also had a way to add a remotely hosted git tree to your account,=20 e.g.: https://github.com/somecorp/linux-corpfidget.git alias corpfidget It could then offer a CLI utility to issue a command like this using the=20 https API: vapor-git-thingy -g corpfidget -r 1234abcd..5678dcba -v2 -c coverletter.txt That would do the same as the above, plus do the patch generation=20 itself... Okay, I think I might be able to scrape up funding to get this built=20 once I put this into a more presentable form. -K --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQR2vl2yUnHhSB5njDW2xBzjVmSZbAUCW6E8AwAKCRC2xBzjVmSZ bLEyAPsEckx2lzZiSzELjSFMl6DNkibMPoJA/bxUs13UcCA7zQEArgZOR/7SrBYI +M+8kzdl0gYkjI7Gon3/c/ZYQ2rW5wY= =DuUi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --82I3+IH0IqGh5yIs--
