Jan,

I appreciate you do not want to do so routinely for all commits you make
but when you are partially applying a series it would be very useful if you
could drop a line to the thread (i.e. the 00/NN mail) explaining what you
have applied vs not applied. Particularly when it is ten elevenths of the
series and so easy to miss that the eleventh patch has not been included.

I was under the incorrect impression that all 11 patches had gone in so had
removed this work from my queue.

Thanks,
Ian.
