it is what git creates by default.

BTW, if I start to patch some file, my workflow generally is:

 - apply it inline
 - commit locally
 - testbuild
 - test the build products (packages)
 - repeat the last 4 steps until satisfied
 - git diff <files> > debian/patches/<patchname>
 - echo patchname >> debian/patches/series
 - git checkout master <files>
 - $EDITOR debian/patches/<patchname> (document the patch)
 - git commit -a
 - git rebase -i (and squish the logical connected patches)

this retains a useful history and makes patches easy to review. moreover
I can take more time to write proper commit messages for complicated
patches.

Thinking about it, before the final rebase, I can easily add a 'quilt
refresh' step to 'normalize' the patch. Will do so in future.

Are these lines along with the quiltrc file worth to add to the
DevelopPackaging wiki?
