On 2 May 2012, Timothy Pearson told this:
I'm not quite sure what 'this' is. If you want to apply a bunch of
patches to a git repo, there are multiple options:
git am -- Apply a series of patches from a mailbox
git quiltimport -- Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
git apply -- Apply a patch to files and/or to the index
and others.
For a set of Debian diffs, 'git quiltimport' is probably what you're
looking for.

I know that. :-) The problem is "How do I apply patches to an existing
tagged branch to create a new tagged branch that is completely independent
of the main development branch".

In the
source packages, patches have kept separately from the original
sources
(in debian/patches/bp*.diff). I was hoping they might be incorporated
into
Git branch for 3.5.13. I understand that you wanted a big diff instead
of
the
set of patches?
Honestly I'm not sure how to do this in anything resembling a sane
manner
in GIT. I was considering distribution of the large patch file as an
update to the existing 3.5.13 sources, but comments and discussion are
definitely welcome on this subject!
