For example: commit 7d671f3e713fc5ff18a5227a8dc16dfdb8bc0664 Merge: d7d717fa889fc7a60c38497846c7618940a999d9 555d61d6542d51563e50532ff604dcd31c96fb24 Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org> Date: Fri Jan 9 13:56:06 2009 -0800 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git390.osdl.marist.edu/pub/scm/linux-2.6 * 'for-linus' of git://git390.osdl.marist.edu/pub/scm/linux-2.6: [S390] update documentation for hvc_iucv kernel parameter. [S390] hvc_iucv: Special handling of IUCV HVC devices [S390] hvc_iucv: Refactor console and device initialization [S390] hvc_iucv: Update function documentation [S390] hvc_iucv: Limit rate of outgoing IUCV messages [S390] hvc_iucv: Change IUCV term id and use one device as default [S390] Use unsigned long long for u64 on 64bit. [S390] qdio: fix broken pointer in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is disabled [S390] vdso: compile fix [S390] remove code for oldselect system call [S390] types: add/fix types.h include in header files [S390] dasd: add device attribute to disable blocking on lost paths [S390] dasd: send change uevents for dasd block devices [S390] tape block: fix dependencies [S390] asm-s390/posix_types.h: drop __USE_ALL usage [S390] gettimeofday.S: removed duplicated #includes [S390] ptrace: no extern declarations for userspace On the web site, each of those line items is a link to the individual commits that frequently have comments about why the change is being made, and perhaps some details. See http://linuxvm.org/ for that. For the truly geeky that are interested, I've automated the HTML generation via: - A ~./procmailrc entry on one of my home Linux systems that feeds any emails I get from git390.osdl.marist.edu to a Rexx (Regina) script - The Rexx script pulls the email apart via normal Rexx functions, but also invokes a number of Linux tools, such as grep and sed. - After the script finds each individual commit, and creates the HTML to point to them, it emails the resulting file to me at work so I can cut and paste it into the web page.
