Hi, Recently, I sent out patches which were fixed up with --amend on older commits. When I sent them out, the patches contained Date: in the headers. Now, sending these mails is fine, and mail clients generally handles it perfectly fine. However, after doing this I got an email from postmaster@vger.kernel.org, basically telling me to not do this, since they get a lot of bounces where the return is marked with Diagnostic Code: smtp; 550 (4.5 DATE_IN_PAST_48_96 Date: is 48 to 96 hours before Received: date) This is understandable. The question is, do we fix the tools to handle this, so that emails are always generated with now() date, and the commit content contains a tag for the original commit; or do we simply say, always send patches to the mailing list with a current timestamp? Maybe my workflow is incorrect too. I don't mind pointers on this. I guess rebasing before generating the patch series would have fixed this, but I really didn't need to. I simply reset HEAD~2, fixed with --amend, then cherry-picked the other on top again; then created the patch series. -- .marius - simply wondering what others on the git mailinglist do..
