I see the point of putting description in impersonal, technical way. Probably, was irritated after sending 50 patches instead of 37. Also I've seen that in `git log | grep ' I '` over the project, not that it justifies using it in the discussed patch. > >> but today I've managed to double-send a directory by a mistake: >> git send-email --to [email protected] /tmp/timens/ >> --cc 'Dmitry Safonov <[email protected]>' /tmp/timens/` >> >> [I haven't noticed that I put the directory twice ^^] >> >> Prevent this shipwreck from happening again by asking if a patch >> is sent multiple times on purpose. >> >> link: >> https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] > > What does "link:" mean? It's a tag, usually used to point URL for more information. Maybe not that common in git-ml, but often it shows an example of what can go wrong without a patch. > >> Cc: Andrei Vagin <[email protected]> > > What's the significance for this project to record that this patch > was CCed to Andrei? I've felt like I need to give credit to my friend with whom I was working on the patches set; which I've failed to send properly.

I've underestimate how welcoming some communities are to foreign patches. If you feel like it's still worth to have the feature, please carry-on with the tag Abandoned-by: Dmitry Safonov <[email protected]> and don't drop Cc tag. [..] Thanks and sorry for waisted time, Dmitry
