Well, I unsurprisingly don't ;) > Here is a patch with no description other than a list of changed > files. And discussion happens in a completely different email. They contain the commit message - which in most of the cases is more informative than the one just posted, which was definitely rather short. It should like in e.g. http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/1352942234-3953-11-git-send-email-andres%402ndquadrant.com > What's wrong with just posting the patch as a regular attachment(s) to > a regular thread, like other people do? Two issues: - If you have a bigger series of patches (like the whole logical decoding thing) posting all patches in a single mail makes the following thread even harder to follow than its currently the case. Note how even in this, far smaller, case the discussion actually happened in the appropriate subthreads. I find it way much easier to reread through an old thread that way to reassure myself what was discussed. - mhonarc does really strange things if you attach two git created patches (splits them into multiple mails) > It may be just me. But it may be others as well, so I figured I should > raise the issue :) I am happy to comply with whatever others prefer.
