I wasn't aware Andrea switched the way he stored his patches lately ;)
But seriously, you're right that this is a good thing. I'll work on splitting out my patches and documenting what each part does.
(but not now, I'm headed off for Australia ... maybe I can split out the patches on my way there and cvs commit when I'm there)
OTOH, the advantage of having a big patch means that it's easier for me to get people to test all of the things I have. Guess I'll need to find a way to easily get both the small and the big patches ;)
