It took more effort for reviewers to figure out the reason to delete those two blocks just from looking at the diff, which distracted me a bit. Of course I eventually figured out why they were deleted by looking at the actual files, but had that been stated in commit message I could have finished the review sooner because I would have a list of things to look for in my mind and go through them faster. Suppose you asked me to consolidate the blocks, I would happily do so but also try to note that in the commit message, to help reviewer and my future self to grasp what the patch does faster.

I won't insist on moving it. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
