Reading commits on a mobile device is not what kernel development is
optimized for, sorry.

This breaks my existing workflow, sorry.  I can't track cc: below the
--- line because obviously, git cuts that off.  So I put them above
where git send-email can see them, AND where git can handle them when I
rebase/revise/etc.

Also, as Jon points out, the "environmental" argument seems very odd,
it's not like bits cost more to send around (they keep getting cheaper
in power and money), and processing power is pretty constant for servers
handling email, so I don't understand the power consumption argument.
Without some sort of data to back that up, I'd be loath to repeat it.

thanks,

greg k-h
