Re: [PATCH 05/18] sparse: correctly handle "-D foo" and "-U foo". The former is from sparse upstream, but they didn't fix the latter for some reason.

It's in the subject (where it ended up from git format-patch). Dan has
already taken me to task for the format of the commits here.

This sounds awfully like *you've* signed off on *this* patch, but sure,

I screwed up the mailing (next ones will be better), but they all went

taking them upstream first?
