Note that a patch that has been merged into "seen" does not yet say that it will be part of the next release. "seen" is only an integration branch for topics which are currently in-flight on the mailing list and in the process of being reviewed. The intent is that we can catch any incompatibilities between two different in-flight patch series early. So declaring victory is a bit too early :) A better indicator is that the patch has been merged to "next". This is described in Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt, section "After Review Approval", and more in-depth in Documentation/howto/maintain-git.txt. I think that your v2 isn't quite there yet. As Junio mentions, he'd like to see an updated commit message that includes your explanations why you have done certain conversions the way you did. The fact that some parts of the patch required discussion to arrive at a common understanding is a good telling factor that a summarized form of the discussion should likely be part of the commit message such that future readers of the patch will get the same context.
