I want to use notes as a way of tracking my edits for what I did in v2 of a patch, at the time I commit my v2, so that I can send a revised series including the notes in a manner most efficient for someone else using 'git am' on the series to see why I sent a v2 but without polluting the upstream repository with useless versioning information from the email. >=20 > We've talked about it several times, but it's never happened (probably > because most people don't actually use notes). And people (like me) don't use notes because they aren't documented. Catch-22, so we have to start somewhere. I'll submit a v2 with the non-controversial edits, and spend some time trying to figure out how to isolate the portion of pretty-options.txt that is relevant to format-patch. If it's easy enough, I can also consider using --- instead of Notes: as the separator when using format-patch. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig542D52258D97AC61FB8E0009 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJQfrMQAAoJEKeha0olJ0Nqen0IAK9bL/FIVpngepiSgNuL6+Ux 36L9tfRiJQ5NJ38Xos+mW1Xcw7DTaVpd+i1G8Do/36GAMDCL4kICM1Kh607jmXpN Oj0M9ehTmvtQZVrem+sjWT6mAmFWQEMDO3/c6NG+vWCYR1pZ6GwyLEiSrhaiPSif 5mDk3a811JN90MIONURGXdFXqNoyGlFD0NAyowD5u1c9oxFB4rlaSPGjpY4r/36t zNEtyLXyEjoUuuMBPXjHNlf/d5FX7lBZrqdnt4XcP+CS2vZDh5M7bGnzx2qY+dit tv+hB9hyOqLKKvTFjprjbOxIR81m67iQLWP1F2nVNXqiqdwM1EoObCIksKsz+2Y= =4V93 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig542D52258D97AC61FB8E0009--
