I mentioned it in the beginning of my cover letter as well as the (less visible) "base-commit" identifier. Is there another spot where I could have highlighted the dependency more clearly? > Could I suggest that you maybe include that patch as part of this > series so that those can be iterated on in tandem? I could, however your branch is already tentatively marked for 'next', and Junio applied this topic to a branch based on yours as I had suggested. So we could change it, but I think it would be more of a hassle for Junio, so I'd rather avoid doing so. Are there changes that you want to make on top of your patch? > Overall I think that this change is quite sensible and hides away at > least some of the complexity. Thanks! Much appreciated :-). Thanks, Taylor
