7 StGit is a Python application providing functionality similar to Quilt
8 (i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of Git. These
9 operations are performed using Git commands, and the patches are
10 stored as Git commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGit
11 patches into other repositories using standard Git functionality.
