The general feeling on this list is that patches are listened to, no matter how foul they are, and you will get a (hopefully) polite rejection if it is considered useless because it addresses a problem that doesn't exist. Suggestions that others do a lot of work is generally not listened to. > The "correct" wording in the source code might become more work than you > might agree with. > Since you're the only one really interested in this, you'll be the one doing the work. If you do that work well and submit your patch(es) by the git patch submission standards, screening them for useless code churn is but a moments work. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
