Unfortunately we have a > growing thread that contains submissions with this mistake. Anyone willing to patch upstream 'git send-email' to reject a simple 'y' rather than blindly sending a bad messageID for the in-reply-to field, to help future users avoid this mistake? Obviously, it won't help until the patch eventually percolates into distros, so it would be a few more months before we see the benefits, but down the road it will prevent confusing threads. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
