Hi William,

Please try using the "--dry-run" parameter for the "git send-email"
command to make sure that your submission is correct (no duplicate
emails and correctly threaded). This parameter makes the command do
everything except actually sending the emails.

You may also try sending the submission to your email address first
(to double check everything) before posting to a mailing list.

Please also see my replies to individual patches.

Best Regards,
Bartlomiej
