Subject: Re: [PATCH] Staging: android: binder: Fix over-80-char lines

Thank you Neil

I was not sure if space-based alignment was allowed so thank you for
demonstrating the change. It does make the code much easier to read.

Similar thank you for how to indent over-long function calls. I had
mis-understood the coding standard to mean overflow needed to be on
the far right margin. A single indent before the first argument looks
much nicer and consistent.

Thank you Dan

You are right! It does break the code. Thank you for finding that and
the name issue. I'll rewrite the patch on top of linux-next this time
with the proper style as Neil suggested. I think git send-email added
the danieru. I had tried fixing the name my git config and then git
amending but send-email continued adding the danieru address so I
assumed that it always took the current user's username. Now it sounds
like that was some metadata git did not redo upon amend.

Daniel
