Probably, was irritated after sending 50 patches instead of 37. Also I've seen that in `git log | grep ' I '` over the project, not that it justifies using it in the discussed patch. > >> but today I've managed to double-send a directory by a mistake: >> git send-email --to linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /tmp/timens/ >> --cc 'Dmitry Safonov <0x7f454c46@xxxxxxxxx>' /tmp/timens/` >> >> [I haven't noticed that I put the directory twice ^^] >> >> Prevent this shipwreck from happening again by asking if a patch >> is sent multiple times on purpose. >> >> link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/4d53ebc7-d5b2-346e-c383-606401d19d3a@xxxxxxxxx > > What does "link:" mean? It's a tag, usually used to point URL for more information. Maybe not that common in git-ml, but often it shows an example of what can go wrong without a patch. > >> Cc: Andrei Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx> > > What's the significance for this project to record that this patch > was CCed to Andrei? I've felt like I need to give credit to my friend with whom I was working on the patches set; which I've failed to send properly. Maybe it's a thing of more opensource-friendly communities like lkml. > >> Suggested-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> > > I think "Helped-by:" is a lot more appropriate, viewing the exchange > on v2 from the sideline. > >> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Safonov <dima@xxxxxxxxxx> To be honest, I don't feel like going on with v5. I've underestimate how welcoming some communities are to foreign patches. If you feel like it's still worth to have the feature, please carry-on with the tag Abandoned-by: Dmitry Safonov <dima@xxxxxxxxxx> and don't drop Cc tag.
