[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v3] Rename the _mesa_lookup_enum_by_nr() function Renamed function _mesa_lookup_prim_by_nr() to _mesa_prim_string() _mesa_lookup_enum_by_nr() to _mesa_enum_string() _mesa_lookup_enum_by_name() to _mesa_enum_value() Changes were made, because nobody liked the way these functions are called.

If you do as Kenneth suggests you will have three patches that you can
send to the list. If the patches touch different parts of the same
file they are independent (line number changes are easily sorted out
by whatever tool the committer will use). If two patches touch the
very same part of one file, they may not be independent of each other
but the second will depend on the first. This is very common and
totally normal. Usually you will send the patches as a patch series in
this case. For instance, "git format-patch -o /tmp origin/master" will
make such a series out of all the commits you have made on top of
origin/master.
