Hi all,

I'm keen to know what people think about the use of summary keywords in the 
commit messages. I noticed that Nilay uses two keywords, one from 
http://gem5.org/Commit_Access and then one additional (more specific) keyword. 
Pros/cons? Is it suggesting a need for more keywords?

I'm in favour of using multiple keywords. I've generally used the format "kvm: arch: summary" for my KVM-related patches and I think this might be a good idea in general. For example, the O3 CPU is a pretty large subsystem, so that should to warrant its own sub-keyword ("cpu: o3: ...").

However, we should probably try to "standardize" the keywords we use to make it easier to search for relevant changes in the revision history.
