Fails to build here, since it depends on the patch "include/winnet.h: Add more GetVolumeInformation system flags", but you didn't mark them as being part of a series. See "Subject Line" in http://wiki.winehq.org/SubmittingPatches

You probably also want to use shorter subject lines, and move more of the patch description into the body of your message.

When I wrote the description of the patch using git commit, I wrote "kernel32: Improve GetVolumeInformation filesystem flags" as the title and the remaining part on a new line (to make it a comment). If I look at my commit with GitWeb locally, the title is short and my comment is on a separate line. I'm probably missing something. Do you know how to "move [...] description into the body" (except manual editing before sending them) ?
And concerning your first remark, I forgot the -n parameter to git format-patch. But before resending my patches, I would fix this long-subject-line issue.

There should be a blank line between the commit title and potential subsequent comments. That's probably the explanation.

I think you need a blank line. The text before the blank line becomes the subject; the text after the blank line becomes the body. - Dan
