Not entirely sure why you are sending this patch to a public list.
This patch as well as patch 8/19 have already been applied.
Ok, it appears that you plan to apply it to some other branch.
So what ?

Can you clarify ?

Reason for asking is that I don't want to get flooded with e-mail
each time someone applies a patch to some arbitrary branch,
and I end up being confused and looking through the code
trying to figure out what is going on. Whatever it is, your branch
isn't that special that you need to tell the rest of the world
what you are doing.

Thanks,
Guenter
