Not so. Anyone who does any serious amount of review on this project
finds it tremendously helpful to have both a prose description of the
changes ("Changes since v1..." plus a link to the previous submission)
and a mechanical range-diff or interdiff. A range-diff (or interdiff)
is especially important to provide reviewers with context which they
might have forgotten since the previous version of a patch series was
posted, which can matter since it's so easy to forget specifics even
about one's own review if enough time has passed or if reviewing a
large number of unrelated submissions. A range-diff or interdiff also
helps a reviewer determine at-a-glance whether or not earlier review
comments have been addressed without having to laboriously re-read
each and every patch.


So will range-diff be mandatory or optional?
