It is a tag generated a git hook to uniquely identify a change through multiple revisions of that change. If the tag does not already exist the hook adds it. I removed it from the reposted patches as you requested, but have you considered leaving it in? It is a useful search token both for finding different revisions of a patch and for finding which branch a change has been cherry-picked into. > Also, this should go to older kernels, right? It can, but the leak is relatively slow so I don't think it is critical. I looked at one device that had been running for a while and it had leaked around 16k per month. -- Arve Hjønnevåg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
