I wasn't saying you'd put git in production. I was saying, you could figure 
out the patch in a git development environment and then provide patches to 
everyone via a bug report at bugzilla. And if the bug is critical you could 
patch the production system with your newly created patch.

Umm... Why not 3.6.8? There haven't been drastic changes in the UI, as far 
as I know, and it has more bug fixes in it.

But it could be. A patch or two would be useful. And learning git would save 
you headaches for future bug fixing, and upgrading. Seriously, you are 
taking the hard road for no good reason. By the way, learn git, and at least 
grab the attachment on bug 6566. If your indexes are not the same between 
your old and new, like mine were, this script may help.
