BTW: Does anyone know if it's possible to just pick a patch from a HG branch to another? STG (Stacked GIT) has nice 'stg pick <branch>@<patch>' command for this.
Not me, but thought I'd take the opportunity to ask if switching to git is (still) an absolute no. As far as I can see, hg has mostly downsides, with needing a conduit between it and upstream for example that I saw Linus complain about recently.
I'm used to git by now, and every time I try do something inside ALSA I just keep on typing the wrong commands to hg, needing the manpage, not being certain that I'm not fucking up my local tree...
I can definitely say that hg is not being instrumental in making me more of a contributor. When I _do_ do something I tend to just work against the kernel inside git and then only in the end apply the result to the current hg just to see if it will.
I believe the git submodule stuff would also nicely allow all of ALSA to be one giant repo basically, with kernel, lib, ..., as submodules.
