The current version _rejects_ good patches. But, as it's very easy to move emails from a maildir _or_ have a symlink which links to "maildir/cur" or whatever, we really should rely on the content of the files. -- Nicolas Sebrecht -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
