Okay thank you Dan. I have collapsed the spaces and linebreaks into one patch

Thank you very much for the clarity. I understand now.

I already asked Andy, but I would also like to seek your opinion on
how I should version
the next patch. I already made this current one v6. Do I send v7 with
changes in the cover letter,
or changes in the individual patches?
Or what is the best way please

Thanks
