See what I've done with my two patches today, labelled "zefram1" and "zefram2". I don't see this getting confusing. It'd get confusing if people actually used non-unique patch IDs, granted, so let's get it right right from the start, OK? > Exactly what am I going to grep, anyway? grep for the full unique patch ID (e.g., "zefram2"). The first mention is overwhelmingly likely to be the patch you're looking for; the ID appears in the ChangeLog hunk, so you could narrow down your grepping a bit on that basis. > How >do I get Sven's number 22396 and not Peter's? "wischnow22396" vs "pws22396". >And what about people who don't have commit access who mail patches to >the list? Their patches get committed, by Peter, after they've been mailed. They can be identified everywhere (commit log, ChangeLog, etc.) by mailing list sequence number. -zefram
