This should be resent as v2 if any change is present. You should only 
use RESEND if you don't edit context of email at all. Also such 
messages for changes should go under --- as everything above is commit 
message.

Hi Akhil,
I am also wondering why did you decide to resend the patch as it 
impplies it was sent somewhere else, but I don't see it anywhere on 
mailing list. Did you send it only to Greg?

Yes, I accidentally only sent it to Greg, I realised this and resent it
before I could get the response from Greg's bot. The content of the
patch is exactly the same.

It took me some time for this reply as I was understanding the correct method to reply, let me know if anything can be improved.
