From 63cb8215997fa7bef4319339060869a8c9cee8aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:51:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] SubmittingPatches: hints to know the status of a submitted patch. "What happened to my patch" is pretty much a FAQ on the Git mailing list, it deserves a few paragraphs in SubmittingPatches...
