Re: [PATCH 00/16] Fixes; Document remaining stdint.h types

[Alejandro Colomar <colomar.6.4.3@gmail.com>]

Hi Michael,

I did it this way because then you have a clearly ordered list
of the commits, and in which order they go,
so I thought it might be easier for you (creating less conflicts).

And also, I can hold any more recent patches, such as __int128,
for when you finish applying the previous set, so I fix the
conflicts before you ever see them.

Don't you think?

I don't mind fixing for example patch 5,
and then rebasing the rest (and also the patches I didn't send yet),
and resending them as an answer to v1 00/16.

But if you still prefer smaller sets, I'll send you smaller sets.

It's just that these patches are usually very dependent of the
previous ones, and therefore prone to conflicts if you
don't apply them in the same exact order.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Alex
