   4 The first release candidate for StGit 0.15 is available from the
   5 git://repo.or.cz/stgit.git or http://download.gna.org/stgit/. Bugs can
   6 be reported on the Git mailing list or via the project bugs page
   7 (https://gna.org/bugs/?group=stgit).

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

  15 The main changes since release 0.14.3 (I may miss some important
  16 features but they can be found in the log):
  17
  18 - New core infrastructure for repository operations
  19 - Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands
  20 - Automatic reverting of changes following a failed operation (using
  21   transactions)
  22 - New 'squash' command for combining two or more patches into one
  23 - New 'publish' command for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which
  24   are not rebased)
  25 - New patch identification format - <branch>:<patch> (see 'id'
  26   command)
  27 - UI improvements and removal of the 'add', 'rm' and 'resolved'
  28   commands since there are corresponding Git equivalents
  29 - Emacs mode improvements
  30 - Man pages and improved tutorial
