[Qemu-devel] a newbie question: code patches

[cheetah]

Hi folks,

I need to do some changes to qemu-kvm. However, on the kvm website, it is suggested to develop against qemu.git. I am wondering if I develop against qemu.git, because my fix may depend on some new patch that is only in qemu.git, it seems very hard to generate a patch for the qemu-kvm. But my goal is to generate a patch to qemu-kvm while contribute the patch to qemu. 

Could you give me some advice? Should I develop again qemu.git or qemu-kvm.git? How to manage the patch generating process less painful? 

  

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Peter
