I don't think there's a git easy way of sending it out outside of just ensuring that everybody is CC'ed on everything. I don't mind that at all. I don't subscribe to lkml, and the patches weren't sent to linux-block. Hence all I see is this stand-alone patch, and logic would dictate that it's stand-alone (but it isn't).
Hm yeah I forgot to add linux-block. But others where there's no dedicated list (or get_maintainers.pl didn't have one) also complained about not getting Cc'ed, and I can't Cc everyone for sweeping changes.
What I sometimes do is including a short blurb on each patch giving the overview and action hints (e.g. this is part of patchset doing XYZ and should be routed such and such). It's a bit redundant but has worked pretty well for patchsets with dependenat & sweeping changes.
Yeah I guess I can just copypaste/summarize patch 1 to all the subsequent patches, sounds like the best option. -Daniel
