You can also use: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
$ git format-patch --subject-prefix RFC … |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
to mark preliminary patches with [RFC] tags in the subject. It also |
| 14 |
works with versions: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
$ git format-patch --subject-prefix RFC -v2 … |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
will generate [RFC v2] tags. Once you think it's mergable, drop the |
| 19 |
--subject-prefix to get [PATCH] tags. |
