While there are now things like git, the majority of projects and the majority of developers still rely on using email with diff output. While git is apparently doing a lot of good for the key kernel developers, I don't think it's a required technology. Even with git, there are patch dependencies, for example every time I read one of Andrew Morton's summaries it seems to include some patches being left out due to conflicts or dependencies.

While git is apparently doing a lot of good for the key kernel developers, I don’t think it’s a required technology.

Even with git, there are patch dependencies, for example every time I read one of Andrew Morton’s summaries it seems to include some patches being left out due to conflicts or dependencies.
