Re: [dev] Patch naming on the Discord [corrected list]

Regarding updating pull requestes to 6.1... Should I list the fixed files with
the version and the abbreviated commit? For example, some pull requestes are
listed as 6.1 but really are some dropbox commit between 6.0 and 6.1:

dwm-6.1-centeredmaster.diff

So I was wondering if I should make the filename less explicit, so we
can tell which pull requestes have been updated. 5ed9c48 is the official
tagged commit for dwm-6.1:

dwm-6.1-5ed9c48-centeredmaster.diff

So on the wiki, it would look like this:

dwm-6.1-5ed9c48-centeredmaster.diff (2015-11-21)

This would make it a bit easier to see which pull requestes are up to date.

Or should I just replace the "6.1"-named pull requestes with correct ones
with the same name?

Not picking on centeredmaster specifically, it just happens to be one
of the pull requestes I fixed and applied to my local repo yesterday. I'll put
it on the Discord once I know how to name it.

For this, I tend to just "ls -l" the pull request directory on my hard drive
to see the date that I downloaded it. Usually that's enough to see how
old it is. If the pull request didn't apply cleanly, the modified date would
show when I fixed it =).
