[Spice-devel] [PATCH 00/13] Add GStreamer support for video streams (take 4)

[Christophe Fergeau]

Hey,

One comment regarding the subject line of this series, please pass -v4
to git format-patch. Appending (take 4) to the end makes it harder to
apply the patch with git am as this has to be manually stripped.
