One thing that other projects do to keep the cover letters is to create a branch, apply all the patches from the series, and then create a merge commit, with the commit message as the cover letter. It can make the history a bit messier, but means that the cover letter is retained, and makes 'git bisect' work quite a bit better (because bisect knows how to skip merged trees appropriately). It could be worth doing, because it can help to explain an overall motivation for a series when walking the tree with git annotations. -Aaron _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
