I'm not that familiar with git in general and sending patches yet. How do 
you do this in an effective way? Diffing all changes via git and then 
splitting up the "all-in-one-patch" to four smaller patches manually?

I wasn't sure whether I'm allowed to send the patch with his signed-off, as 
there were other things in the patch, he didn't review. But next time I'll 
send such a patch splitted up and then it's clear.

Thanks for your honesty,
kind regards,
