As you know, I have been sending patches since nearly 3 years ago to this list. And it's only since a few weeks ago that I am asked to send cover letters... > From the patch series' titles (especially when they are cropped due to > the text window being too small to fit the indented thread), it is not > all that obvious what you want to achieve with those 10 patches. > > From recent discussions, I seem to remember that you wanted to have some > cute way to mark commits as non-testable during a bisect, and I further > seem to remember that Junio said that very method should be usable > outside of bisect, too. Well, we want to move "git bisect skip" code from shell (in "git-bisect.sh") to C. So this patch series does that by creating a new "git bisect--helper" command in C that contains the new code and using that new command in "git-bisect.sh". > Unfortunately, that does not reveal to me, quickly, what is the current > state of affairs, and what you changed since the last time. Yeah, I should have at least put something in the comment section of my first patch in this series. And I try to improve, you know, I even tried to use "git send-email" again this morning to see if perhaps I could use it to send my patch series. I did: $ git send-email --compose --dry-run bh15/* Can't call method "repo_path" on an undefined value at /home/christian/libexec/git-core//git-send-email line 160. and then I gave up, because I don't like spending a lot of my free time to fight with tools I don't like. If someone knows some other tools that can easily send a threaded patch series, I will try to see if I can use them...
