Re: [9fans] question about #include_next directive

How advanced is your git usage? If you're only doing simple merges and pushes
dgit (https://github.com/driusan/dgit) is approaching useful since
someone taught
me how to throw the official git test suite at it.

I definitely wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver, but if you only
want to push a
couple things here and there, don't rebase, and have a fairly linear
history it might
work for you.
