Addition of "[powerpc]" if it was absent can be scripted. However, the retaining of "[powerpc]" (etc) while not retaining "[rfc]" (etc) is not practical. Plus putting things into git with "[powerpc]" in the title is wrong. The chances are good that anyone who is taking such a patch off the git-commits list (say, for a backport) will lose that part of the title. It should be "powerpc: " (http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/dh.gif) _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
