- Patches should always be attached to the E-mail uncompressed
(Compressed if max attachment filesize is reached) for logging
purposes. I personally prefer the web-based approach though so using
both is best. =)
- Although I've set up a Git repo for KWin actually using it for
inter-developer branching is a pain due to Git-SVN. It's there only
for local commits, when the code is complete patches only please.
- Whitespace changes are usually done in a separate commit so the one
that actually changes code is easier to read.
- Line 440-442 of the diff, why did you change that? Now if you make a
change on either of those two tabs then switch to a different one then
the settings will not be saved. Please change it back to an
unconditional else.
- I got way too far many hunk fails to apply the patch so I could not
test it, please update your branch to the master and resend the patch.
