I have just done the same thing to meta-webserver
as Joe did to meta-networking so for all the text below:

    s/meta-networking/meta-webserver/g

I haven't updated Joe commit example but I used his script so
the tracking and format will be similar.

Joe's original message:
-------------------------------------------------------------


   If you are only using meta-networking from meta-openembedded, you
   need read no further.  This is only for people using my side-project
   on github.  Absolutely nothing has changed in the official
   meta-networking.



For anyone using the standalone meta-networking subtree I maintain on
github, please be aware that I've made a change to the way I create the
subtree which, unfortunately, will result in a forced update for all of
your branches.  And probably a merge on whatever branch you happen to be
on already (eg. master).  If you get into that scenario, I suggest
pushing your current branch with the merge in it off a cliff and
re-creating the current branch tracking the up-stream.  If you're not in
the habit of doing a git-pull, though, this will probably be cleaner:

   % git fetch --all --tags ; git rebase origin/<up-stream-branch-name

The reason for this (and the advantage) has been in response to requests
I've had to preserve the original (that is, meta-oe) commit hash so it
is easy to connect a commit in the standalone meta-networking with the
official meta-networking I maintain as a part of the larger meta-oe.
The change is small and hopefully self-explanatory, but I won't let that stop
me.

    Upgrade vsftpd to 3.0.0
          (original commit: 441502b68d03a4ce7796436a53c5e95399724ad2)
        Upgrade vsftpd to 3.0.0 with below modification:
    1. more strict access limitation, like: do not allow anonymous access
    2. use vsftpd.ftpusers and vsftpd.user_list to confine user access
    3. enable pam if DISTRO_FEATURE includes pam
    4. enable tcp-wrapper
    5. install vsftpd.conf with 0600 permission, not 0755
        Signed-off-by: Roy.Li <rongqing...@windriver.com>
    Signed-off-by: Joe MacDonald <joe.macdon...@windriver.com>

Where 441502b6... is the commit in meta-oe from Roy that happens to
upgrade vsftpd.

FWIW, I don't anticipate doing anything destructive like this again.
