the more logical answer would be that the tools handle a lot of common mistakes for the user, and once the tool is learned, allows people to submit things much quicker and for us to merge things much quicker. > I think it's better to be more tolerant to the patch submitters. proper submission allows users to submit their changes from the command line -- where they already have to be in order to generate the diff/patch in the first place. proper submission allows committer (i.e. you): - save file - run 1 git command to import the entire thing -mike
