Pehaps they were applied in parallel, and those that happened to be sequenced after 1/14 succeeded. That would make sense to me. The problem would seem to be that I don't know what a patch series is. My patches are produced in the simplest way imaginable for someone who uses git while wearing oven mitts to avoid scorching. I have a script that runs "git diff" for a set of files, and one to convert that into a mail message. Then I use sylpheed to send each one in turn. (I could use nmh but I'm less comfortable with that, for sending. Nothing beats nmh for searching mail.) I think you are going to tell me that some git magic will link those together as a series. Possibly a gcc git script. I haven't tried to connect git to mail because the git boxes aren't set up to send/receive mail. I've been told that's unnecessary (and/or easy to rememdy) but so far haven't gotten over the hump. If you would nudge me in the right direction, perhaps I can DTRT. Many thanks for your time.
