I usually just prefix the bug with [PATCH]. but having an explicit flag seems like a good idea. I'm not thrilled with Arnaud's solution, since `patch' is not exclusive of the existing types, and that will make it hard to tell which patches fix bugs and which add features. And his own patch illustrates this point. :^) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFDVRnYxuUdPD6j2IMRAtbFAKCr8fUSXI8JXFfOfhty4aREjshegACfdjfb xei4Q4FTXD1XK9Xubic2Vlc= =u3fO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
