I've decided to stop using the 'patch_series' branch in the pd-extended.git and switch to a straightforward 'master' branch as the place where everything happens. The 'patch_series' branch worked well when Pd-extended was a set of patches against Pd-vanilla, but that is less and less the case.
For example, there is no 'extra' objects in Pd-extended, instead that is treated as the 'extra' library which is in pure-data SVN. Its just a straight copy of the pd-vanilla extra objects with a build system like the library template.
As Jonathan continues to work on his versions of the doc/2.control.examples, doc/3.audio.examples, etc. those will be removed from pd-extended.git and Pd-extended will use Jonathan's versions.
Once I get a workable system for making a complete 'vanilla' library, then that stuff will be removed from pd-extended.git
So in summary, it means that Pd-extended will track the core of Pd-vanilla within git, but the objects, extra, doc, etc. will be spun out to be tracked separately. I think that'll greatly smooth out the development process.
