It seems like cumulative patches confuse me too: I thought the patches were all for HEAD, not 1.3. Sorry!! Also, I will not deal with HEAD for the next two weeks.
If I can find some time, I will check again what could go into 1.3 and what not and send a patch for that. I do understand that cumulative patches are inconvenient. However, for me making non-cumulative patches is equally inconvenient. The way to make it convenient for both of us is for you to respond more quickly to patches. If I have multiple more or less orthogonal changes to the same C-files some of which have to go into a different version of GiNaC, separatating these is really inconvenient. Why don't you simply keep two GiNaC trees on your computer: one for 1.3 and one for HEAD. That way you can immediately apply patches in the right place. If anything is unclear about a patch I will be happy to expain. Best, Chris
