- *Cogito* (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cogito is a version control system layered on top of the git tree history
|
|
|
|
|
storage system. It aims at seamless user interface and ease of use,
|
|
|
|
|
providing generally smoother user experience than the "raw" Core GIT
|
|
|
|
|
itself and indeed many other version control systems.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pg is a shell script wrapper around GIT to help the user manage a set of
|
|
|
|
|
patches to files. pg is somewhat like quilt or StGIT, but it does have a
|
|
|
|
|
slightly different feature set.

|
|
- *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stacked GIT provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the
|
|
|
|
|
GIT environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of GIT
|
|
|
|
|
until they get merged upstream.
