Should I be doing it against -mm instead? I generally prefer diffs against whatever is in -mm, mainly so we can see what changed, and so that we can make sure that everyones fixups didn't get lost. If a patch has only been in -mm for a short period then a wholesale replacement is OK. It gets a bit complex because people do insist on trying to add lots of trailing whitespace to the tree and I do insist on thwarting them, but I fix all that up. In this case I got anal and turned your new patch into an incremental one ;) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
