So I was using `git format-patch` to generate patches for consumption by patch (as part of an RPM build), and one of the patches was failing as part of it was already applied. It seems like format-patch should exclude bits it's merge previously, at least as an option. For reference the two commits in question are: https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/7028d66 https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/26dc6b7 Notice how both make the same change to Authors. cheers, Pádraig. -- 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
