Subject: [PATCH 1/2 (RFC)] Documentation/SubmittingPatches: discuss first then submit
Date: Sun, 03 Feb 2008 17:00:16 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7v3as9pmcf.fsf_-_@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7v7ihlpmkm.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> (Junio C. Hamano's message of "Sun, 03 Feb 2008 16:55:21 -0800")

This is something I've had in mind for some time.  I get enough
e-mails as-is, and I suspect the workflow to get list members
involved would work better if we get the discussion concluded on
the list first before patches hit my tree (even 'next').
