This sounds pretty cool, can I do pull requests across radicle instances?

gitlab recently closed a 2015 feature request https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14116

PS: What's this "AD" prefix you're using?

AD: The prefix is my initials :) - my only HN account is a shared one with a co-op organisation I work through. I use AD to distinguish who's commenting... however my co-workers have yet to use this account ha!

Your initials form a word used as a disclaimer often. And shared HN accounts are not common.

If you replace "AD:" by "Adrian from Endian writing:", people won't have to wonder what "AD" means, and waste their and your time on asking (you will probably get this question a lot otherwise).

AD: Pull requests are `patches` in radicle, when you clone a repository you create a git namespace for yourself from which you can edit to your hearts desire, you can then open patches to other repos via this mechanism.

Are you open to rename the "patches" terminology?

Apparently currently "1 patch = 1 pull request of e.g. multiple commits" in Radicle.

That confusing, since in Git a patch usually refers to a single commit:

    * git format-patch outputs 1 ".patch" file per commit.
    * Its output also enshrines that, in the subject lines that appear e.g. on Linux mailing lists: "[PATCH 1/2]", meaning "one of two patches in a patch series".
(That said, `git format-patch --stdout` can concatenate multiple commits into a single output, but it does not offer to write those into a single .patch file by itself.)

So when reading "Patches", I was intuitively unnecessarily scared that the tool cannot handle whole branches, and flattens out all commits.

Maybe "Patchsets"?

That's what kernel people apparently call them:

This sounds really, really cool. How does reviewing such patch-PR's work?
