I would very much like to start using GIT to do this. The main difference is
that when a contributor wants to merge back the changes from upstream GIT
knows which changes upstream correspond to the commits the contributor made.
So it can avoid a lot of conflicts when the upstream version has subsequent
changes to the same areas.
The end result is also a lot cleaner. Instead of a lot of commit messages that
just say "applying patch from Foo" all the original separate commits can be
preserved.
