If I'm not mistaken, this is v3? When using git send-mail, you can use --subject-prefix=PATCHv3 to make it more obvious to reviewers.
This offers a number of advantages: * Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or sessions (eg. using NFS) * Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from user settings * Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings between different OS versions * Supports reseting settings without breaking things * Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk is filling up * Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution * Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored * Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the system for administrators ---
Also, listing a summary of changes since v2, after the --- line, can aid in review. I haven't looked closely at the patch yet, but hope to get to it today. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
