Applied.
However, just for the future: please send patches that you expect me
to apply with a very explicit subject line to that effect.
I get too much email, and hey, I do try to read it all (even if I
don't answer), but I'm really really good at scanning my emails
quickly.
In other words: sometimes I'm a bit *too* good at the "quickly" part,
and end up missing the fact that "oh, there was a patch there that I
need to actually react to and apply".
That has become more true over the years as the individual patch count
has gone down, and *most* of what I do is git pulls, and most of the
emailed patches I see tend to be things that are for review, not
application.
Yes, I picked it up this time. And maybe I even pick up on these
things *most* of the time.
But I still strongly suspect that to make it more likely that I don't
miss anything, you make the subject line some big clue-bat to my head
like having "[PATCH-for-linus]" header.
Because even just a "[PATCH]" is likely to trigger my "patch review"
logic rather than something I'm actually expected to apply, just
because I see *so* many patches fly by.
This was your daily "Linus is all kinds of disorganized and
incompetent" notification. Making things obvious to me is always a
good thing. It's why those "[GIT PULL]" subject lines help not just
pr-tracker-bot, but also me.
Thanks,
