Thanks for your detailed explanation here. I don't know that "git am"
could strip those off automatically. I thought the maintainer would
delete "[foo]" manually. So, my main intention here is that I want the
submitter to make it more perfect to reduce the overhead of the
maintainer and also pay attention to this for further submissions.
And from my perspective, the reroll would not bring much overhead for
the submitter, so I expressed my words in the previous email. I know you
concerned that my words would frustrate the Usman. And I wanna say this
is not my intention here. I think Usamn has already done a great job for
this microproject to understand the workflow of the Git project. So,
actually we are on the same boat here.
Let me withdraw my previous words ("We should reroll the patch"). This
patch is good and don't need a reroll.
Thanks,
Jialuo
