It's project-specific and manual; if you search hard enough, you'll find ones that have headers like "r300g, radeong: " We mostly do it for two reasons: 1) It accelerates grepping through git logs to find that one commit, if we don't know exactly what to git blame; 2) It lets others see, at a glance, whether or not the commit in question is worth reading immediately. For example, I don't mind admitting that I don't really read commits to svga, so I tend to ignore "svga: " commits. ~ C. -- Only fools are easily impressed by what is only barely beyond their reach. ~ Unknown Corbin Simpson <mostawesomed...@gmail.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
