That's _precisely_ what I want! I want to use notes as a way of tracking my edits for what I did in v2 of a patch, at the time I commit my v2, so that I can send a revised series including the notes in a manner most efficient for someone else using 'git am' on the series to see why I sent a v2 but without polluting the upstream repository with useless versioning information from the email. > > We've talked about it several times, but it's never happened (probably > because most people don't actually use notes). And people (like me) don't use notes because they aren't documented. Catch-22, so we have to start somewhere. I'll submit a v2 with the non-controversial edits, and spend some time trying to figure out how to isolate the portion of pretty-options.txt that is relevant to format-patch. If it's easy enough, I can also consider using --- instead of Notes: as the separator when using format-patch. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
