No problem with git, just my inability to express my "2 independent patch" problem properly. First, I sent my original patch 08/06/2010: [PATCH] mtd: Expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT Realizing this may not necessarily have been the *best* way to accomplish my goal, I sent v2: [PATCH v2 1/2] mtd: nand: Expand... [PATCH v2 2/2] mtd: nand: Expand... These two patches were supposed to be two different, independent approaches to the same task; with discussion over how best to do this, we should settle on one of the two patches. I decided (for good or for bad) that they didn't need a new title - they were essentially the same code with a slight twist. However, instead of sending two different patches, I sent the same one twice (my mistake). Finally, I sent v3 to include just the missing patch: [PATCH v3 1/2] mtd: Expand... I only included the missing patch and called it v3. So this leaves the important patch set as the following two independent, slightly different approaches to the same problem; we should choose between them: [PATCH v3 1/2] mtd: Expand... [PATCH v2 2/2] mtd: nand: Expand... Sorry if my naming, numbering, and failure of intelligence in sending e-mail confused anyone. I can resend with distinct names and correct numbering if requested.
