I have a custom post-applypatch hook (see my "todo" branch) enabled and then use the amlook script (again, see my "todo" branch) script to inspect the corresponding notes tree. After applying a received patch e-mail, the result is annotated with enough information to identify which message it came from by the hook. When I am scouring the mailing list backlog to see if I have missed something interesting (sometimes I find interest in a topic that I thought totally uninteresting earlier), the amlook script is used to see if the patch has been already applied. Looking through millions of notes this way won't scale (iow, amlook is a bad example of using this feature, as the notes tree is used as a database index in the wrong direction), by the way, so you may probably not want to use it as a good example. -- 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
