The thread was: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-July/095452.html Maybe an update of the wiki page would be helpfull to point this out. Ok there is a hint that the "In-reply-to:" and "References" headers sould be keep correct, but I think an explicitly hint to not repost unchanged patches in a serie and hot to do it with "git send-email" would be helpfull for new users reading this page.
