Please fix your patch email submission process so it doesn't send the
same patch multiple times.

You've done this several times in the past.  It makes patch review more
difficult than it needs to be for reviewers.  If I have to compare
several emails and figure out which patch is the right one before
reviewing I'm inclined not to review at all.

Thanks,
Stefan
