looks good but the patch was whitespace damaged (all tabs were spaces and 
there were linewraps as well), please check 
Documentation/email-clients.txt and resend the patch. Thanks,

it's OK, and your resubmission was better - but it still had a linewrap 
problem (i was able to fix that up manually).

If you post from gmail it might make sense to send patches as MIME 
attachments, we can process them just fine. (as long as you send patches 
that go via -tip - other maintainers have different policies regarding 
MIME attachments)

Or simply don't use Gmails web interface for sending the emails.
I used to use Gmail in the past, but I used it with Pine or Alpine most 
of the time. Alpine can be configured to send proper emails and just use 
Gmails SMTP server for sending them - Mutt also works fine.
