I think it's just hard to follow the discussion as the subject is usually not changed, so for example when the subject contains "merge", I carefully read that mail, but I can easily miss such a mail if it's still "What's cooking in". An other problem with deep threads is that it just doesn't fit in one's screen, so I had to use tricks for example to see if a mail was a reply to my mail or to some other mail. So here is what I thought about: What about if everyone (except Junio, of course) would change the subject _and_ remove the In-Reply-To: header when replying to those mails? If those large threads just annoys a few people and most people are happy with the current situation then sorry for the noise. Thanks. --qgeIJYx8sDYEmUhr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkiDpU0ACgkQe81tAgORUJbxigCfY3WpLV5fiwfcV25agtfYE5Qg N70AoIDCoBBu5PXuVYYW0sLqdZDzbBWV =y8KR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qgeIJYx8sDYEmUhr--
