Hi Per.

I agree with James, you should post the patches so that people
can review them.

But not all in one posting! :-)

Look at how other contributors submit their work.  They make a set of
postings to the list, one for each patch, and each posting has
a subject that begins with something like "[PATCH 1/N] " where
the "1" increases for each patch and the "N" is the total number
of patches you are submitting for review.

People typically also give an initial "[PATCH 0/N] " posting
where the location of the GIT tree containing the patches lives
and also a general summary of what the upcoming set of patches
do.

There are automated scripts which can take a GIT tree and a given
range of changesets and prebuild the list postings for you.  So
the amount of work you need to do for this is minimal.

For example, "git format-patch" and "git send-email" can help you a
lot here.

Thanks!
