Then we just zap > the existing branch and redo it with this scheme. Will do. How would you prefer to consume this to make the branches simple to create? Is it ok if I create a new patch series with Al's suggestion above as the first commit?

If I create a new series with the above change then it will not be cleanly separate anymore. Is that ok? Reinette
