Adding previous revision links together [1] would be helpful for people who willing to see details of previous discussions. > > Pratyush Mallick (2): > selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore > selftests/mm: rename local_config.h to local_config.h_gen So, after applying the first patch, we may show local_config.h unexpectedly shown on 'git status' output?
