Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Changed "&" with "and" in
Documentation/applying-patches.txt.
Documentation/SubmittingPatches says:
Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour.
Thank you for your feedback Frans.
So for example a better description would have been: "use 'and' instead
of '&'"?

It might be that a link is enough, but I would prefer to have an
excerpt from that, possibly with the link as reference.
You are right. I will provide one in the future.
Oscar
Thanks,
Frans

When patch applies a patch file it attempts to verify the sanity of
the
file in different ways.
-Checking that the file looks like a valid patch file & checking the
code
+Checking that the file looks like a valid patch file and checking the

around the bits being modified matches the context provided in the

just two of the basic sanity checks patch does.
