Hi Andrew,
I noticed in your The Perfect Patch doc:
http://www.ozlabs.org/~akpm/stuff/tpp.txt
Section 6b says you don't like 0/N patch series description-only
emails. Is that still true? Because it seems the majority of patch
series do include a 0/N descriptive email...

hm, I think what I said about git there isn't true - merge commits can
contain changelogs.
Whatever. 0/n is OK and is more email-reader-friendly.

I don't mind a 0/n patch if there is lots of history or background
or data to be presented, but I find it silly to use a patch 0/1 and
patch 1/1 for a single, small patch, like some people do because that
is what git wants to do.
