See > Documentation/SubmittingPatches for more hints. Yes, the refactorings are all as rote as I could make them and only lightly touch the code enough to make the canonicalization possible... with a bit more work than was strictly necessary around the Perl build system. Let me do a bit of rebase work to make things work better as a series of submissions and I'll get back to you. I'm new here, and I'll play nice, but let me go on record to state that Git asking for individual emails with inline patches feels like Sendmail Corp asking to be faxed an email thread. I was kinda hoping SubmittingPatches wasn't serious about that and it was some sort of policy artifact that was never updated. :-/ -- 151.
