In this case what is meant is a leading "From " header (no colon) at the start of the patch. Where git-mailinfo is likely to fall down is more in the quilt patches from Andi Kleen. If you look at my quoted patch header below you will see the subject is a plain line, followed by a space followed by a from. On this example git-mailinfo works (except for picking up the subject) but it appears to be a fluke. >From x86_64-mm-add-abilty-to-enable-disable-nmi-watchdog-from-sysfs.patch: > Add abilty to enable/disable nmi watchdog with sysctl > > From: dzickus <dzickus@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Adds a new /proc/sys/kernel/nmi call that will enable/disable the nmi > watchdog. > > Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@xxxxxxxxxx> > Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxx> > > --- > arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c | 52 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > arch/x86_64/kernel/nmi.c | 48 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > include/asm-i386/nmi.h | 1 > include/asm-x86_64/nmi.h | 1 > include/linux/sysctl.h | 1 > kernel/sysctl.c | 11 +++++++++ > 6 files changed, 114 insertions(+) > > Index: linux/arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c Eric - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
