Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 00/17] i386 Updates (touches some common drivers)
please set sendemail.chainreplyto to false in your git settings. patch series should be like: [summary 0/xx] |- [patch 1/xx] |- [patch 2/xx] not: [summary 0/xx] `- [patch 1/xx] `- [patch 2/xx] `- the latter makes things a lot more painful for people to parse with their e- mail clients. you might have to update your git if it doesnt support this option (i see you're using 1.6.0 where as latest release is 1.6.4) ... -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

Huh? To me that makes no difference. Actually, I like the second form better.

To me that makes no difference. Actually, I like the second form > better. you must either not thread your e-mails properly, or your monitor is insanely wide and/or you use insanely small fonts. as soon as you hit 10+ depth on threads, subjects easily start getting truncated in the display. seeing a few to no characters in the e-mail reader for a subject is a pita. if it's all the same thread, that's one thing as the subject doesnt really change, but in this case they arent. sane example: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/66481 insane example: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/66597 -mike signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

To me that makes no difference. Actually, I like the second form > better. I much prefer the first form. Besides being more like just about every other vertical list in the world, the second form tends to push the meaningful bit of the subject line off the right edge of the screen. The [U-Boot] tag doesn't help in that respect either... -Scott ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
