When I sent them out, the patches contained Date: in the headers. Now, sending these mails is fine, and mail clients=20 generally handles it perfectly fine. However, after doing this I got=20 an email from postmaster@vger.kernel.org, basically telling me to not=20 do this, since they get a lot of bounces where the return is marked with Diagnostic Code: smtp; 550 (4.5 DATE_IN_PAST_48_96 Date: is 48 to=20 96 hours before Received: date) This is understandable. The question is, do we fix the tools to handle=20 this, so that emails are always generated with now() date, and the=20 commit content contains a tag for the original commit; or do we simply=20 say, always send patches to the mailing list with a current timestamp? Maybe my workflow is incorrect too. I don't mind pointers on this. I guess rebasing before generating the patch series would have fixed=20 this, but I really didn't need to. I simply reset HEAD~2, fixed with=20 --amend, then cherry-picked the other on top again; then created the=20 patch series. --=20 =2Emarius - simply wondering what others on the git mailinglist do.. --------------enigA8F405A53A4C176175958F3F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFITlLeKzzXl/njVP8RAnNAAKDU6bBd4K8bxwiMdGjHEAlNc4ov/QCgji3U D6T5/X+r1b+mJoHLU6cXvpY= =OTnx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigA8F405A53A4C176175958F3F--
