It seems that lately, the patch attachments are lacking version
numbers. It causes unnecessary confusion. For example, I sometimes
fetch patches from this thread locally to "diff" them with previous
patches to get a rough overview of the changes -- that has now become
more difficult.
Can you please reinstate the name convention of having version numbers
for all patch attachments?
IMO *every* post that includes patches should unconditionally
increment the patch version -- even if the new patches are just a
rebase or some other trivial change. Version numbers make it clear
what patches are the latest, you will be easily able to unambiguously
refer to them by name in subsequent posts, and when copied to your
local computer they won't clash with any older copied patches.
