Resending unchanged patches should be avoided, if possible. First, it
just wastes bandwith and storage space. Second (and more important),
PatchWork has problems with this: it locates patcehs based on their
hashes, and for reposted patches, it will always find the _oldest_
matching patch. So even if we set N-1 of your repostings to
"Superseded" or similar, Patchwork will set the oldest of these as
"Accepted" and your Nth posting remains in state "New".

[Only the body of the patch is relevant here, so even postings of the
same patch by different people or with changed commit messages will be
handled like that.]

So only resend when you have large series of patches with very few
unchanged patches in them.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
