Shallow threading basically means that all patches are sent as a response to the current cover letter, and the current cover letter is always attached to the cover letter of the _first_ version. So this quote is definitely at odds with the configuration I have proposed. It's actually quite surprising to me that we recommend deep threading -- I personally find it extremely hard to navigate as the nesting eventually gets way too deep. You know -- I'll include a patch that changes the wording there to also use shallow nesting, mostly to kick off a discussion and arrive at a decision there. Thanks! Patrick
