Please keep small changelog here, for example:
v5:
* rebased on top of bpfnext
Thanks for the tip. Add them at the bottom?
"Below the fold" see this patch I just sent out:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200317215515.226917-1-ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#u
grep "Changes"
$ git format-patch -v2 HEAD~
$ vim 0001-...patch
<manually add changelog "below the fold">
BPF subtree prefers the changelog in the commit body, not the comments
(iow, before ---).
Add them at the end of you message, see, for example:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/a428fb88-9b53-27dd-a195-497755944921@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/
Sigh, every maintainer is a special snowflake. In our tree, you're
only allowed to commit on Thursdays under a blood moon. /s
But thanks for the note.
For every commit into bpf/bpf-next we automatically put a 'Link:' tag pointing
to the lore.kernel.org/bpf long-term archive, so there is always an easy way to
retrieve additional information or discussions ([0] as one example). So whether
you put it above or below the '---' line I personally don't mind either way. All
crucial information that helps a reader later on to understand /why/ we ended up
exactly with the current change should be part of the main commit log though.
