Please avoid top-posting on this list. If you have some background material (e.g. summary of previous discussions, list of things that have been changed in response to previous review, etc.), you have three options: * Use a cover letter, even for a one-patch topic. Use [PATCH 0/1] for the background material if you have tons of it and then make [PATCH 1/1] as a follow-up to that cover letter. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/256386 for how such an approach looks like. * Use a single message, [PATCH] (aka [PATCH 1/1]), and add your background material _after_ three-dash lines as comment. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/258451 for how such an approach looks like. * Use a single message, [PATCH] (aka [PATCH 1/1]), and add your background material _before_ a scissors line "-- >8 --", optionally followed by "From:" and/or "Subject:" (but in your case, you are sending your own patch as yourself with the same subject, so neither of them apply). See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/258470/focus=258474 for how such an approach looks like. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
