Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: prune redundant SubmitChecklist items
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:48:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080210234841.GC20829@fieldses.org> (raw)
From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
Kernel style is mentioned twice, and the git apply trick is a bit
redundant given the checkpatch.pl recommendation (which also checks for
bad whitespace).
