This is why I make the patch filenames map directly from the patch titles, so I end up with files like optimize-x86-page-faults-like-all-other-achitectures-and-kill-notifier-cruft.patch. Verbose, but it reduces confusion and mistakes. > I can resubmit them That's always a good choice. Patches which are dangling at the end of an email discussion often don't get merged: it is unclear to the receiveing party that the discussion has terminated, and I'm never terribly confident in the testing level of a patch which obviously got modified two minutes before it was sent. > -- where? netdev?
