Jeff, Andrews "The perfect patch" (http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt) in section 3.e says: Most people's patch receiving scripts will treat a ^--- string as the separator between the changelog and the patch itself. You can use this to ensure that any diffstat information is discarded when the patch is applied: Do your scripts act this way as well? It is nice to be able to send a single e-mail both w/ changelog-appropriate comments and with "this relates to the last message" comments as well... John P.S. Hopefully I didn't misunderstand Andrew... -- John W. Linville linville@tuxdriver.com
