To be maybe more explicit,

While we appreciate the eagerness here I'd like to reiterate that the
followup V2, V3, ... patches should each be a standalone, self-contained
email, without any quoted text and with updated subject lines, i.e.

Subject: [PATCH] Doc : fs : convert xfs.txt to ReST

followed by:

Subject: [PATCH V2] Doc : fs : convert xfs.txt to ReST

followed by:

Subject: [PATCH V3] Doc : fs : convert xfs.txt to ReST

so it's trivial to see from subject lines when a new version has been
sent.

Also, what Jonathan said about time between iterations.  ;)

Thanks,
-Eric
