You can check by downloading what you sent out (I showed you how in the other thread). It seems that there are funny non-breaking spaces in the additional text below "---" but before the diffstat, but they are not part of patch text anyway. You seem to havespelled "Ævar" differently (perhaps difference between NFD vs NFC ???) which seems to confuse mailinfo, but I don't have time to dig into it myself (it is quicker for me to edit your Signed-off-by: while queuing). Ah, wait... it's not like Ævar is relaying your work; it's more like some code / tests were given by him to you to incorporate into this, so I suspect that two S-o-b: from you two should be in the reverse order. I'll swap them while queuing. Thanks.
So, from this I conclude the following, "Never user e-mail clients to send patches. They seem to be bringing in all sorts of surprising changes." This is just a consequence of not following the advice in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. This won't repeat in future. (expecting, I could hold to that statement :)) -- Regards, Kaartic Sivaraam [off-list ref]
