Re: Detecting patch sets

[Dan Kegel]

Hi Ge,
when I was running patchwatcher, taking the number of patches
in the series helped more than it hurt.  (It's fairly frequent for
people to submit two patchsets, and fairly infrequent for the
second patchset to have the same number of patches.)
The darn interface needed babysitting, though, since
there were always malformed and/or partial series.

I think it'd be cool to have a UI where developers
could correct their detected patchsets if they don't
like what the automated extractor did.  That could
morph into a way of submitting patchsets in the
first place later on.

It'd also be cool if other tools - say, a buildbot or a patchwatcher -
could monitor the detected patchset stream
(to save them from having to maintain their own).
