I was aware that people do strange things with the footer, but with the first example of [akpm] comment at the very beginning alone, I wouldn't have guessed why intermixing one-liner comments directly in the chain of Signed-of-by: lines made any sense. Call it lack of imagination, but each sign-off optionally prefixed by a single-liner summary of what change was done makes sense why people do want to use these lines that way. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
