Well, sounds interesting. I hope it's better than bitkeeper; I tried
that for patch-set management, and it just *sucks*.

You proposed to make a doc on this: that'd be very much appreciated.
Note that I *never* heard of any of these before, I'm just using what
I've used in the past (cvs, vim, ...). changelog.pl? quilt? Never heard
of... If they're easy to use, I'll use them.
