For example, X-SVN may be used for git-svn. Please don't. When two people/programs create an otherwise identical (for the purpose of git) commits that have two different object names, there'd better be a very good reason other than "I felt like adding an extra header that I can use willy-nilly". Please separate the 'note' part and the 'generation' part and make two separate discussion threads. And kill 'note' part altogether, but that can be done in that thread ;-). - 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
