I'm not sure what the problem was you were fixing. Only the third line is correct. The patch should be included in the email. It needs a proper subject, a patch description and a Signed-off-by line. Email the patch to yourself. Save the raw email including headers and everything. `cat raw_email.txt | git am`. `git log -p`. Look through the patch and verify that the patch description and everything looks good. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
