Sounds great. Thanks.
I am a newbie and still confusing on how to do it. Please excuse my ignorance.
If I forked a my own branch on qemu.git and develop against it.
For instance I change qcow2.c which depends on some functions in block.c which are different from qemu-kvm.git because qemu-kvm.git has an old version of block.c
In this case I need to generate a patch for both qcow2.c and block.c by diff with the qemu-kvm.git's version. This is done manually. And if more files are involved, it becomes really painful.
Is there any better way to generate a patch for qemu-kvm.git easily?

Thanks for the quickly reply.
I am going to change/add the block driver and some image format code. If
I develop against the qemu.git, can I easily generate a patch to apply
to qemu-kvm.git too?
Yes, or vice versa too. You can develop against qemu-kvm.git if that's what you use, and retest with qemu.git before submitting.
