Thanks Shejialuo and Eric, I really appreciate both of your time and help. I am not frustrated at all and I see any changes as a perfect opportunity to learn something new. I have also learned from my mistake and your guidance and would keep it in mind for future submissions. In that case, I will send the second patch. Thank you.

Your observation about outdated/confusing "[foo]" annotations is certainly something the submitter should take into consideration for future submissions, but does not seem worthy of a reroll, IMHO. First, `git am` will strip those off automatically, so they won't become part of the permanent project history anyhow when/if Junio picks up the patch. Second, asking for a reroll for something which does not impact the correctness of either the patch or the commit message just makes busy-work for the submitter and wastes reviewer time (which is a limited resource on this project). Third, the point of a microproject is to expose the submitter to the workflow of the Git project and to the review process, and for reviewers to see how the submitter responds. That goal has already been achieved in this case, and rerolling for something so minor provides no additional benefit in that regard.Thanks for your detailed explanation here. I don't know that "git am" could strip those off automatically. I thought the maintainer would delete "[foo]" manually. So, my main intention here is that I want the submitter to make it more perfect to reduce the overhead of the maintainer and also pay attention to this for further submissions. And from my perspective, the reroll would not bring much overhead for the submitter, so I expressed my words in the previous email. I know you concerned that my words would frustrate the Usman. And I wanna say this is not my intention here. I think Usamn has already done a great job for this microproject to understand the workflow of the Git project. So, actually we are on the same boat here. Let me withdraw my previous words ("We should reroll the patch"). This patch is good and don't need a reroll. Thanks, Jialuo
