I suggest you stop this nonsense now. If you are going to submit a patch for "net", then the last thing you d= o is check out net/master and rebase on top of it. If you had done so, then you would have noticed the conflict. You never need to know the commit id.

Does it matter? You obviously knew you were posting a duplicate. Ther= e is no excuse for that. Duplicates do *not* help. Whether you are able to find the original or not doesn't matter. The rest of the world is. Duplicate are confusing. Confusion cause delays and noise. I assume you don't want either. > The fact that work make me use outluck makes searching mail locally > almost impossible. Your lack of proper tools is your problem... Now I know I come out a bit harsh. I can't help it. It's not that I care much about whether or not I am credited for this oneliner, and you did credit me in any case. But this whole discussion is so completely unnecessary. Just use patchwork to track the status of patches you are interested in. If you can't find a patch there, then YOU are doing something wrong. It's as simple as that. No excuse. Bj=C3=B8rn
