Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Take Two - Fix domain restore for files on root-squash NFS.
Thanks once again for the informative review! (I've learned something
new about git, which isn't really surprising I supposed, since I
currently know so little ;-))

I guess that line is okay to leave in the commit message. If it had been
me, though, I would have left it out of the commit log, and just inserted
it between the --- and diffstat during 'git send-email --annotate' - it is
relevant to the thread that explains the updated commit and how it differs
from the first attempt, but it is not really related to the patch itself.
After all, at the end of the day, the original version of this patch will
not be in libvirt.git, so the words "This version" no longer have any
context for comparison.
I agree with that, just didn't know that git send-email could do that!
;-) I contemplated doing --compose and putting all that stuff in the
separate introductory email, but that seemed a bit too verbose and
complicating. Instead, I decided to rely on DV (or whoever pushed the
change) to remove those bits from the message before running git am.
Likewise, a subject line of "[PATCHv2] Fix..." is
better than "[PATCH] Take Two - Fix...", since git am strips
"[PATCH...]" but not "Take Two".
Can git send-email be made to put that in the subject line rather than
just [PATCH] or [PATCH n/m]? That would be really useful!
