So, my general policy on this is that I tend to push back on patches
|
|
which don't just work with the toolset (subject lines are just one part
|
|
of it) to a variable extent depending on who's submitting and what
|
|
they're submitting. One of the factors is that the more patches are
|
|
coming from someone the easier I expect their patches to be to work
|
|
with.
|
|
|
|
The reason this came up is that this is one of the issues with Joe's
|
|
patches (which are rather frequent) but he is only willing to do things
|
|
that he can automate.
