Here is the method I've just used. I work on say 3.6 and apply n commits, ideally I do apply my changes so that each commit does not cross several modules (ie core and entitymanager) For each commit: cd targeted-module git diff --no-prefix previous-commit-sha1 actual-commit-sha1 | patch -p1 The patch is applied and I need to add the necessary files and commit. Not a perfect method by any mean, but that's a start :) HTH Emmanuel _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
