Some of these change the behavior, so those should be broken out and justified more clearly. Every behavior change you need to say what changed, and why. I can't describe how annoyed I get when I'm going through old patches and I see something like bc9025bdc "blah blah blah cleanups simplifications. ps I also fixed a locking bug." The bug fix is the important bit, and the cleanups can be mentioned in the ps. regards, dan carpenter
