like i said, the word "resubmit" did not equate exactly with "resend
the exact same patch".  your e-mail came across (wrt how most every
one else ive worked with) as "poke me again when it's ready in
mainline".  once Linus merged things, i gave you a poke.

the only other person to say anything did not say "you now need to
resend your patch".  it was "please wait until Linus has pulled things
and then Dave has pulled things".  which was not relevant at the point
it was sent.
