The patches we want aren't about a file or a subdirectory or even a subsystem, but they're supposed to be a logical change. Ie. 1 patch. An exception for something like this would be if you want to feed it to different maintainers seperately, but it sounds like you just want to bomb it somewhere... Secondly, let's not. More subtle indenting stuff like fixing `if (exp) do_something` I can understand. But this isn't nearly so helpful. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
