A few days ago, I
discussed Trac and Redmine. Redmine is a project management tool, similar to Trac, with built-in download tools, bug tracking, etc.
Redmine has a lot of nice features. Chief among them is better integration between multiple projects, so I don't have to go to 17 separate pages to see the open bugs on my projects.
But I'm worried about the Redmine community. It appears to live in an insular Ruby world, without much participation outside. I
wrote about some of those concerns in their forums. I've also submitted bugs to Redmine, some with patches.
Also, it's concerning that, although Redmine includes a very nice forum module, the Redmine forums are still on RubyForge. Also, there are many bugs in the Redmine BTS that have patches but little, if any, comments from the Redmine people that have commit access.
It could just be that Redmine is a fairly new project and just needs some time to get on its feet more. It's been around since July, 2006, which isn't all that long on the one hand... or quite awhile, depending on how you look at it.
The
git support patch for Redmine looks very nice. However, after a month, it still hasn't been replied and there's no indication why. Which also is troubling.
So I think I'll sit with Trac for a little while until I get a better feel of how Redmine is progressing.

I think the formula you wanted is git format-patch $(git rev-list HEAD | tail -1)
