It's exactly that. Yet, I've never received git-format-patch from user. |
| 16 |
At the beginning git's native commands maybe a little more frightening |
| 17 |
than "clickable" interface. However, with upcoming (hopefully) git |
| 18 |
migration that should become more popular. |

That's what we did with Gentoo Science Project's repo. No hook is |
| 24 |
necessary, just configuring your local git clone[1] and git push/pull |
| 25 |
--all is enough. |

I think that one (github.com/gentoo) is unrelated. Semi-official are |
| 32 |
beforemention sci repo and Haskell guys[2] |

Some of your concerns (and possibly other things) were also discussed on |
| 40 |
gentoo-science mailing list, when we were migrating to github[3] |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I'm also not insisting at all that it should be github, if we decide to |
| 43 |
do it. I know some people detest it :) |
