I'm a bit late to the thread, but wanted to point out this tangent: Note that the cover letter is not committed into git, so a disclaimer about removing the last paragraph of the cover letter is pointless. Had this been an actual commit message, it's best to stick such disclaimers (which are useful to reviewers, but not to long-term git log) after the --- that separates the actual commit message from the patch (as 'git am' will automatically strip such disclaimers when a maintainer takes in your patch for merging through their tree). -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
