Actually, it would probably be a good idea not to send your first patch to me and instead to request for comments from the list ;-)n The worst offence of the message was the choice of bad Subject that strongly encouraged anyone to skip it. Consider: Subject: [PATCH] document "format-patch --in-reply-to" better or something like that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
