People who want to follow along can look here: https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs-cksum-patch-queue ... or at the read-only git tree which you can find here: git://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs-cksum-patch-queue.git With these large patch series it's easier for me to make blanket changes to fix minor annoyances (such as commit descriptions which are too wide and make "git log" displays hard to follow) or to merge patches that are too fine grained[1] together. Open source project management theory says that it's better to ask the submitter to do all of this work, but given certain special circumstances in this particular case, I decided to make the cleanup work that I do publicly visible, as a compromise. I'll also make some comments about some of the issues I find (and fix) by replying to the emails on this mail thread. This patch series will be maintained so that it can be applied to the top-most "maint" branch of e2fsprogs. Darrick, if you have time and would like to make further changes, ping me off-line and I would be happy to give you write access to the github tree. - Ted
