Tool for importing webrev patches?

[Jorn Vernee]

Hi all,

I'm working together with someone who is using mercurial, while I'm 
using git, and they've sent in a webrev for review.

When using mercurial I would:
   1. download the attached .patch file
   2. use `hg qimport the_patch.patch` to import the patch in mq
   3. use `hg qpush` to apply the changes
   4. run the tests and/or play with the code before submitting a review.
   5. use `hg qdelete the_patch.patch` to remove the patch from mq

I'm looking to replace steps 2, 3 and 5 with a git equivalent.

The git workflow I've figured out so far is to:
   1. download the attached .patch file
   2. create a new local branch based on the one the patch is targeting
   3. switch to newly created branch
   4. use `git apply the_patch.patch` to apply the changes
   5. make a commit for the applied changes
   6. run the tests and/or play with the code before submitting a review.
   7. delete the local branch.

I think steps 2-5 could be merged into 1 using some tool (maybe even 
step 1. as well). Then, after reviewing, I just have to delete the newly 
created local branch.

Does such a tool exist in Skara already? (couldn't find it on the wiki 
[1]) Or, is there another recommended way for doing this? Is there 
interest in adding such a tool to Skara?

Thanks,
Jorn
