Hi j, >> Could you please send your patch as inline, otherwise it's really difficult to comment use git-send-email as example >> and also please read this http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/Patches >> and http://lwn.net/Articles/139918/
Sorry for the whitespace mistakes. i have now corrected it. But regarding sending patch inline i am finding it very difficult. I am using MS Off Outlook to send patches to uboot and other mailing lists. I also pasted the same code that i copied from patch files to the mail. Since i think it wraps and creates other issues, i am attaching the patch that i generated using " diff -purN ". Since our proxy server has some issue, i am not to clone from uboot git server. So here is the thing. I have downloaded uboot-1.3.3.tar.bz2 and extracted to local system. I have copied to the same to a diff directory on which i work. so, u-boot-1.3.3/ ---> original unmodified source uboot/ ---> modified source I take a diff of these two folders and send it as patch. Now from past few days i am trying to use git to create and send patch to mailing list. Here is what i do, 1. 1st i tried diff -purN u-boot-1.3.3/drivers/rtc uboot/drivers/rtc/ > new_pl031_rtc_drvr.patch to create a well known patch creation command 2. then i tried git-diff -p --summary --stat u-boot-1.3.3/drivers/rtc/ uboot/drivers/rtc > new_pl031_rtc_drvr_v2.patch to create another patch. Both didnt have match difference except the 2nd give me few more info. I sent 2 mail to uboot mailing list, each time picking patch from each step and also pasting from the patch file 3. Now i tried git-format-patch $ git-format-patch.exe u-boot-1.3.3/drivers/rtc/ uboot/drivers/rtc/ fatal: Not a git repository So kindly know how to solve this.
