TIL, thank you! For the others watching in, as you know all commits have "headers" which are normally not printed. The above commit looks like > tree 939755a58a68aae5e1241b2a905ea612aeb2e589 > parent 502fde1a0a2990ec54eab5241d3135c545da7372 > parent bf40c92635d63fcc574c52649f7cda13e0418ac1 > author Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> 1405282495 -0700 > committer Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> 1405282495 -0700 > mergetag object bf40c92635d63fcc574c52649f7cda13e0418ac1 > type commit > tag ext4_for_linus_stable > tagger Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]> 1405281748 -0400 > > More bug fixes for ext4 -- most importantly, a fix for a bug > (introduced in 3.15) that can end up triggering a file system > corruption error after a journal replay.

In this case, Ted included the same message (formatted slightly differently) in the pull e-mail and Linus copied it into the merge commit, so it worked out in the end. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
