I updated the comments and resent the patch using format-patch and
send-email.  I am not sure if that is the right way to do it but I
don't see any way to use format-patch/send-email to resend the patch as
a response to your email so I sent it as a new email/thread.  The
inability (as far as I know) to update the patch and send it as a
response to an existing email thread is one of the reasons I am not a
huge fan of those tools but if that is how you want it done, I will do
it that way.
