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
