I made a couple of meta changes:
1. Changed the tag of the commit message from dd: to maint:
since this has no functional change to dd. This helps when
scanning the auto generated summary of changes.
2. You inconsistently use é and e in your name between git config
and your emailer and patches on github. I adjusted to using é
as I presume that's more correct?
3. I removed the redundant Signed-Off line
4. I summarised the file and function where the change was made
5. I removed the debbugs email address from the CC of this mail.
address@hidden is best for patches.
I hope these changes don't seem pedantic.
Keeping a consistent commit structure does help with ongoing maintenance.
Also using a consistent format is quicker as less thinking is involved.
Also tools like http://www.gnu.org/software/vc-dwim/ can be used
if doing many such patches.
I'll push the attached if you concur.
cheers,
Pádraig.
