When I do get +10 patch series, I do apply them one at a time. I review each patch, and apply them as they stand on their own. Of course if there's an issue with one of the patches, I just archive the branch, and tell the submitter to submit another version. This is also how I can test to see if things changed from patches I've already reviewed, because I'll just apply the new ones and compare. Hmm, I still do it one at a time, but in this case, I guess you have a point ;-) It would be nice on a second review to say "I already looked at 1-8 of a 20 patch series, let me just apply 1-8 and compare it with what I already reviewed". -- Steve
