No, it didn't miss my cutoff, and it wasn't even eaten by the gmail spam filters, but it *had* missed my normal pattern for checking that I had merged all git pull requests, which is why I had overlooked it. Pulled now (going through the allmodconfig build test before being pushed out shortly). Btw, the reason it missed my normal check is that I search for "in:inbox git pull" as a sanity check that I don't have anything pending. Now, *most* of the time I tend to catch things regardless just by virtue of reading email carefully, but when I'm busy it definitely helps if your email matches that pattern. The easiest (and most common) way to do that is to have the subject line be something like [GIT PULL] sound fixes #2 for 3.13-rc1 but there are other patterns. For example, David Miller tends to have instead a subject line like [GIT] Networking and then "Please pull" in the body of the email. So the "in:inbox git pull" thing basically catches pretty much everybody. Except for you... You use David Miller's subject line, but you don't have the "please pull" part, so your email missed my "did I pull everything that I had pending" check. For very similar reasons, for people sending me a patch, it really *really* helps if there's a "[patch]" (possibly with a n/m number pattern) in the subject line.. Or make sure you send me a git diff, because I also tend to search for the string "diff --git". Of course, the main person who sends me patches is Andrew Morton, so I mostly just search for "from:akpm" :) Linus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
