Series sent as replies of mail threads

Open dlespiau opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

I was thinking about not supporting series lost in a mail thread (vs being a the root of a mail thread), but there are legitimate usages of such series (for instance, a single patch becomes 2 patches after review).

Right now, this sort of works, but create as many revision as there are patches in the series. We'd like to have a single revision for the whole new series.

Note that is some ambiguity to sending a series as a reply of a previous series. It's currently used in two cases:

  • A full new revision of the previous series
  • More patches to complement the work so far (or sent as comments/RFC of the work so far)

It's not really possible to make the difference, but it may be possible to choose of the two meaning (say the first) and run with it. The second option would be better treated by sending a new series and marking that new series as dependant on the first series? maybe.
