Hi Yogi,
The idea is very interesting! However, your mail client chewed the
patch, you apparently pasted the diffs generated by git format-patch
into your mail client window, not an optimal way to do things.
Please refer to http://autotest.kernel.org/wiki/GitWorkflow for a quick
guide on how to configure git to use git send-email, so your patches
will be perfectly mailed to the mailing list.
Your patches touch some core infrastructure of autotest, I'll have to
review the strategy used very carefully, so please be patient.
Thanks for your contribution,
Lucas
