Comment 4 for bug 902838

I didn't mention anything about cross-project dependencies (perhaps it's a feature of Kitware's stuff and that's what made you mention it?)

For me, this is about having much improved support for series of patches . For example, gerrit currently has no view of the entire set of patches that shows you the ordering - to understand the ordering, you'd have to pick one and navigate through the "needed by" and "depends on" links. There's also no ability to add a "cover letter" in the same way a [PATCH 0/12] email allows.

(There's also notion of merging an entire series together, although how we *want* such a feature to work is probably debatable)
