.1 We do reviews in patch form on mailing lists, not from commits inside
   git trees.

.2 I don't even want to pull the objects into my tree - that's a waste of
   bandwidth just to _read_ the patch, and risks pulling in a lot more
   depending on the parents of the commit.

So, please stick to patch form.  If it's too large for the mailing list,
please split the patch up into a logical sequence of steps as individual
patches.  Only then provide a gitweb URL if that's not possible.

If the diffstat at the start of this thread reflects a single patch then
it's doing too much as one change.
