If you keep the threading of the messages intact (i. e. supply proper In-reply-to: and References: headers - like you get automatically when inserting the message ID when "git send-email" asks for the "Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email"), then there is usually no need to resend unchanged patces at all - what for? It would be just a waste of effort and bandwidth.
yes I agree and thats why I am asking. Ah ok, yes I have seen the message from git send-email but wasn't sure how to use this.
So if I get a request to update 4/5 from a already posted patch serie which message id I have to enter for "In-Reply-To for the first email"? I assume I have to use the message id from the initial 4/5 Patch Email which has hit the mailing list or?
E.g patch serie where only 1 patch has changes requested, do I need to update all other patches with the history:
"Changes for v2: - nothing"
No. Please don't repost the unchanged patches at all. Repost just the one that you modified.
yes this sounds reasonable and is also less work for the sender.
