There are some coding style issues in patches, some indentation problems, and spaces after ")", for example. Your mailer also wrap some lines in the patch, so please fix your mailer or send patches via git send-email. There is no ChangeLog entry for each patch, and some rationale are missing in comments and commit log as well. -- Yao (齐尧)
