Come on guys, this debate is really horribly boring.
|
|
|
|
Either the maintainer wants the patch. Then he is certainly able to apply
|
|
it no matter the subject line (I personally am getting a lot of patches
|
|
which don't follow the format I am using in my tree ... converting
|
|
Subject: lines is so trivial that I have never felt like bothering anyone
|
|
about it ... it's basically single condition in a shellscript). Or the
|
|
maintainer doesn't feel like the patch is worth it, and then the
|
|
subject-line format really doesn't matter.
