Hi Dan/Ian,
Noted your comments regarding additional text, thanks! Just curious whether
the "scissors" format given at the link below is valid?
https://kernelnewbies.org/PatchTipsAndTricks
It is given as an alternative to placing additional text below the
cut-off line.
Try it yourself. Save your email as email.txt and then
`cat email.txt | git am` and then review the patch with git log -p.
I've seen people do the scissors thing, but I assume the maintainer has
to hand edit the log which we refuse to do.
It can be done automatically with the git am -c or --scissors option, or
by setting mailinfo.scissors to true in the git config. But since the
use of these special scissors lines is not documented in
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, I don't think it is safe
to assume that no manual intervention would be required by the
maintainer to deal with it.
I wonder where the "scissors" advice on the kernelnewbies page came from?
