Okay, then as further tips:
It is usually good practice to mark new revisions of a patch as such, by
adding a 'v2' (for the second version) to the subject. Either by specifying
'--subject-prefix' or on later git versions '--reroll-count' when running
format-patch.

And a changelog should be sent with the patch and usually goes after the
line with the three dashes in the same email. The text after the '---'
is not part of the commit message.

	Regards,
	Sören
