Hi Raghu,

Thanks for the cleanup patches.
Sometime maintainers don't want cleanup, but these look good, and
hopefully they can get queued, after you send a v2.

I see Ira already commented to drop the tab reformatting, so drop
that in a v2 of this set.

I notice only 'me' in the 'To;' list here. The cover letter needs
to get the same maintainer list as your patches.

Each patches commit log (now 2 patches) should say 'Issue found with
checkpatch', or something similar. We like to know what tool to credit,
and like that to be in the git history/changelog, not just the cover
letter.

Assumes you are dropping the port changes.

Do this:

$git log --oneline mbox.c
$git log --oneline region.c

Your commit messages 'look' different than the existing message.
Please fix their formatting, in addition to the reword I mention
in patch 1 reply.

Thanks,
Alison
