git tree for Fedora qemu patches

[Mark McLoughlin]

Hey,
	Glauber and I are going to start using git to manage the patches for
the qemu package. The idea is that we'll use git's magical powers to
make it easier for us to fix problems in patches, cherry-pick patches
from upstream, re-base our patches to a newer upstream, etc.

	Nothing is changing, really - patches should still go upstream first
and we'll still include patches as individual files in the source RPM -
this is purely about making managing those patches easier.

	Here's the tree:

  http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=qemu-fedora.git

	It might be useful to others who want to help with back-porting fixes
etc.

Cheers,
Mark.

	I've just written up how to use it here:
