Y'know what helps with that? Publishing clean git branches for
non-trivial work, rather than just lobbing patches around.

I'm finding the reliance on a patch based workflow increasingly
frustrating for complex work, and wonder if it's time to revisit
introducing a git repo+ref to the commitfest app.

I find the need to find the latest patch on the list, apply it, and fix
it up really frustrating. "git am --3way" helps a lot, but only if the
patch is created with "git format-patch".

Perhaps it's time to look at whether git can do more to help us with the
testing and review process.
