The main motivation was to remove the phrase "In general, always base your work on the oldest branch that your change is relevant to" because it was somewhat misleading from the rest of the text. Other smaller cleanups and improvements were made along the way. Linus Arver (5): SubmittingPatches: reword awkward phrasing SubmittingPatches: be more explicit SubmittingPatches: discuss subsystems separately from git.git SubmittingPatches: remove confusing guidance about base branches SubmittingPatches: define topic branches Documentation/SubmittingPatches | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) base-commit: 061c58647eb4b3f0e2c898333577d4b2af115b1d Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-1556%2Flistx%2Fdoc-submitting-patches-v1 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-1556/listx/doc-submitting-patches-v1 Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/1556
