If you made this the first patch, you would only need to modify one place.

This is a patch series. If the end result is going to be maxdepth 1,
you shouldn't add a bunch of maxdepth 2 and then in the next patch make
them all maxdepth 1 as the only change.

Just change the one maxdepth 1 first, and then you can update the code
with the new maxdepth of 1.

If you'd like to generate a patch series, you can refer to thoughtbot
blogpost at [1].

And you can also add cover letter by passing --cover-letter to
git-format-patch(1).

Thanks.

This is already a patch series.

It's simple enough it doesn't need a cover letter.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Steven,

Got it. If I understand correctly, you’re suggesting that I reorder the 
patches so that the 'maxdepth' change happens first. That way, I won’t 
introduce maxdepth: 2 only to change it in the next patch. Does that 
sound right?

Hi Bagas,

Thanks for the reference. I will keep this in mind for future patch 
series and include a cover letter.
