I personally loves stgit and we're using it here on the company to
follow projects that use other patch systems like svn or when we're
developing a not yet ready for merging change. It does great.

The only problem that I found on stgit is the difficult to push its
full meta-data for the git repository. The only way I've found is to
use rsync. Comments on that?
