Would one of the committers mind checking in the patches for 884,885, and 888? I'm making changes on source files that already have existing pending patches in these jiras and don't want to introduce new patches until their checked to avoid conflicts when merging. For my knowledge, how is this handled? Are cumulative patches easily handled? i.e What happens if i have Patch-A based on revision 1 on File-A. Then I introduce Patch-B on File-A also based on revision 1 (but includes changes that went into Patch A). Since both of the patches are based on the same revision # I would assume that only one of the patches can be applied without errors or conflicts. What happens when the second patch is applied since the patch is no longer based on the revision specified in the patch file? If the second patch cannot be applied, how is one expected to know which patch to throw out?
I think it will get darn annoying. We should make an effort to keep up with the patches until this is a subproject.
