See #15, below. If your description starts to get long, that's a sign that you probably need to split up your patch. See #3, next. +When you submit or resubmit a patch or patch series, include the +complete patch description and justification for it. Don't just +say that this is version N of the patch (series). Don't expect the +patch merger to refer back to earlier patch versions or referenced +URLs to find the patch description and put that into the patch. +I.e., the patch (series) and its description should be self-contained. +This benefits both the patch merger(s) and reviewers. Some reviewers +probably didn't even receive earlier versions of the patch. + +If the patch fixes a logged bug entry, refer to that bug entry by +number and URL. 3) Separate your changes. |
