 Hi Christian,

 This is already v3 of the series. Could you explain the changes w.r.t. to the
previous versions? You should do that in the commit message...

 ... here, separated with a --- line:

---
v3:
 - Use foo instead of bar
 - Update commit message to explain baz better [Thomas]

 The [Thomas] means that this change was based on review feedback from Thomas.

 For entirely new patches, you just write:

v3: New patch

 Also, you should send the series with "v3" in the subject. With modern git, you
can do that with the -v3 parameter to git send-email or git format-patch.

 Of course, no need to resend the series for this, but please do explain in a
mail what the changes are. Makes reviewing a lot simpler.


 Regards,
 Arnout
