That's OK, no need to say sorry. :-)

Yes, that's how Git project is always recommending to do, while I'm not
familiar with the convention or requirements in Kernel series rerolls:

And as I said, b4 diff could also do that, even though reading Chinese
diffs are not easy. Feels like that Git cannot recognize the inline
changes in Chinese very well. (i.e. & e.g. cannot recognize the actual
'word-diff' [1], such as: This is a [-bad-]{+good+} example.) And also,
this time many line breaks and reordering have been added.

So I'm fine with it, such situations are not too frequent.

Very much appreciated! Kind of like 'Writing docs for how to write
docs'! ;-)
Constantly summarizing and improving such documents will undoubtedly be
very useful for us and future contributors.
Thanks!
