# [PATCH 0/5] Cover letter for format-patch series 1 messages from 2008-02-19 to 2008-02-19. Participants: Daniel Barkalow. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/12187 ## Daniel Barkalow, 2008-02-19 03:55 Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Cover letter for format-patch series Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.LNX.1.00.0802182242300.5816%40iabervon.org ``` This should take care of all of the comments, so far as they're practical to do in the initial series. Future work will include making the cover letter include useful shortlog and diffstat (if possible) for arguments that aren't a single linear and bounded series (at present, doing anything too tricky results in a cover letter without shortlog or diffstat). Also, I haven't done anything here about making format-patch give an error if the series is empty, whether or not --cover-letter is used. Note that [1/5] is new tests for format-patch, and independant of this series except in so far as it demonstrates that I haven't broken these things.
