Dear Mike Frysinger,

i just went through patchwork and d/l-ed the ones posted there and compared to my local tree to come to the conclusion that everything has already been posted (which is something i was not sure of when i sent things out a few days ago). it was a pita, but a requirement you stipulated.
As a result of this action you could have come up with a branch that includes all the stuff that "has already been posted". There was no need nor any benefit from reposting the stuff again. On contrary, it is just wasting time and resources.
And why do you think the rules for posting patches don't apply to you?
i never said that, and i already explained why i did what i did
Then please follow the rules. Don't repost other people's patches unchanged; and if you change them, provide proper indication in the Subject and a patch's change log.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
