Hi, It seems that the documentation for the Link: attribute in commit messages is misplaced in the Documentation/ subtree. There are two workflows: 1) maintainer committing external patches that have come from a mailing list. 2) maintainer committing local patches that have been discussed on a mailing list. While the current documentation seems to target initial setup for new people becoming maintainers, but it is way less obvious for existing maintainers or for case 2 - I came across this because I wanted to add a Link: tag for a discussion on a patch I'd posted, and could find nothing to describe it. My grep for it failed: grep Link: Documentation/*/*ubmitting* Surely, the format of the Link: tag should be documented in the submitting-patches document with all the other attributations that we define in a commit message, with a reference to that from Documentation/maintainer/configure-git.rst ? Thanks to Jiri Kosina for pointing out that it is in configure-git.rst. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
