Thanks for the link, and sorry for not having followed this
conversation closely enough to have seen your previous replies. While

No worries, you were trying to be a good citizen by reviewing patches,
and the patches didn't come with links to the old threads

That's not true. This patch series [1] came with a link to the previous
patch series [2].

I didn't, cannot, and shouldn't contain hundreds of links to the hundres
of responses to this topic over the past 10 years.

Sorry for being unclear; by links I meant either direct or indirect
ones.  Your series came with a link to the previous series.  The
previous series, however, only contained a link to a series you were
basing upon rather than to a series which contained the changes you
were resubmitting.  Thus, following the links in each submission would
not get you back to the old discussions (I double checked).

Also, this particular point was not meant as a critique of your
current submission.  I don't even think it's all that big a deal for
the previous submission either (it's an easy oversight to make given
that Junio submitted a portion of one of your old series).  My point
was simply that Alex didn't need to feel bad for not having been aware
of all the old discussions; even if he had tried to dive deep by
recursively following all the links, he wouldn't find it.
