Yeah, that is exactly what I did before reading this message but after reading your comments on the patches ;-) > (I am missing the context for *why* you preference is to not do > exactly this). I see what I wrote can be misread, especially due to its lack of ",instead", that I want to keep the broken one as-is, with neither reroll nor fixup. That is not what I meant. - If you choose to squash so that the resulting history after the series graduates to 'master' will be simpler to read (due to lack of "oops, that was a mistake"), I do not mind a reroll. - On the other hand, as the topic has been in 'next' for some time and presumably people tried it in their real daily work when needed, keeping what is queued as-is has a value---we have a fixed reference point that we can go back to to compare the code with and without the fix. I do not have a strong preference, but if I were asked to choose, I'd choose the latter. Thanks.
