Thanks for the clarification! One lingering question I have-- I sent in
a patchset and got feedback on one of the patches in the set, so I'm
planning to revise it today. I noticed though that Greg accepted the
other patches in the patchset and I got a notification that those will
be merged. Is that how it usually works with patchsets? Can the other
patches in the set be merged is one of them needs revision?
