I do not know about others. I'd however request a few changes to the proposed commit log message: * "See http://..."; is not the primary information, but "see ... for further details"; please have it at the end, not at the beginning. * Was the patch authored by you, or Josh? If the former, what's his name doing here? Perhaps you wanted to say "Reported by Josh Triplett"? - 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
