========================================================================
The utilities in detail
=======================
- git-amb
+ git-amb (status: stable)
Makes building, installing, and testing multiple git branches of
some source tree built with automake easy, clean and flexible.
The name stands for "git *a*uto*m*ake *b*uild". For details, see
git-amb(1) man page.
- git-buildmsg
+ git-buildmsg (status: testing)
Generate .h file containing information about the current git
working tree. Useful for programs' version messages in logs etc.
+ Generating the version message from git describe output appears
+ to be much cleaner, though.
- git-rebase-subtree
+ git-rebase-subtree (status: stale)
Rebase not only a single branch, but a whole "subtree of branches".
Useful for maintaining your own subtree of branches close to some
- upstream's branch
+ upstream's branch.
+ Probably obsoleted by automatic branch..rebase setup in git 1.5.6.
