Right, so I find cherry-picking and rebasing using git the most painful
thing ever.

Also, using quilt you get a plain text version of the patch you can edit
at your leisure, editing a git patch involves some export, import and
rebase foo which is all too much work.

Furthermore, using quilt I get help from useful tools like rej and meld
git-merge otoh creates these god-awful merge markers that no tool can
deal with.

As for re-alpine, I might actually try it, you're the second one
promoting it. Although I had somewhat hoped for a MUA like sup to become
useful (or notmuch to grow a usable front-end). Traditional MUAs simply
can't seem to cope well with today's number of emails.
