Thank you > for your time, and apologies again for the confusion. You don't submit patches to fix the incorrect changes you have proposed and that have not been integrated. Just start with the original staging tree and send patches against that. You can use git rebase to remove a previous commit in your tree (read the manual to find the proper options). Or if you don't care about your tree, you can remove it and start over. julia > > Regards, > Nishka Dasgupta > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "outreachy-kernel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to outreachy-kernel+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to outreachy-kernel@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/outreachy-kernel/1519935610-27428-1-git-send-email-nishka.dasgupta_ug18%40ashoka.edu.in. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. >
