[sanselan] Question about another change to improve loading speed of TIFF images

[Gary Lucas <gw...@sonalysts.com>]

Could someone give me some direction on how to handle an Sanselan Issue Tracker issue?
 
I've found a change to the DataReaderStrips.java class that reduces the loading time of most uncompressed TIFF images to 1/5th of the load time required for the current implementation.     I've run the suite of test images in the Sanselan sample and have verified that all of them are handled correctly and all of them realize this benefit in loading speed.
 
I would like to submit a Tracker Issue for this change. I would also like to upload a patch. and this is where the issue comes in.  The code change builds on a file, DataReaderStrips.java that I have already changed in an earlier patch SANSELAN-56.   Do I submit a patch with just the one file?
