It seems that this last patch was too heavy:
"Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

    Message body is too big: 383953 bytes with a limit of 300 KB"

Is there a smarter way to create this patch with git?
Actually I am sure there is a smarter way (we can do everything with
git :) )but I don't know it.
