No, not after I have learned more about stg. The missing subjects were from other patches I had imported from emails. They has all of the email headers on them. Once I edited those out the subjects appeared ok. 'stg edit' should help with this, it was non-obvious to use 'stg refresh' to edit the patch descriptions. Why is mailing a patch series so slow? There also seems to be a disconnect when mailing patches. Locally the patches have a name, when you email them it uses the short description for the name by default instead of the local name. This may cause confusion because the emailed name does not default to the local name. A parallel issue happens on import. Now that I am aware of the naming scheme I can deal with it, but this may be a problem for new users. It might be better to force the short description and local name to always match. --=20 Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
