But that's a theory. You don't *know* that they would have been included had I used a different attitude. In fact, people have contacted me privately saying similar things, and I'll give you the same challenge I gave them. If you think a different attitude would get my patches in, how about *you* write the commit messages and the discussions for one of my stuck patch series. I'll send the mails as if I had written the content. If you are right, the different attitude would make the patches land in no time. I still think it's not right for patches to be rejected simply because of attitude, but I would accept you were right. But I think you already know that won't happen, the patches still won't get in, not because of the attitude, but because of what they are trying to do: change things. So if I *know* certain feature would be useful for Git users, I've listened to all the comments, and addressed all the problems, why would I give up on those patches? Why would I work on something more boring that won't benefit users as much but would have higher chances of getting in? I'm doing this on my own free time, I can choose to do whatever I want, in whatever way I want, so no, I'll keep working on what I think is important. If you really think the patches can be accepted with a different attitude, by all means, let's do the experiment and find out. -- Felipe Contreras -- 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
