That's actually a truncated version of the full log message:


    commit 07f61a02a2409096e5c962cd211126396ad09d2b
    Merge: ee0d3ad bda324b

    Merge branch 'V5-5-patches' into V5-6-patches

    * V5-5-patches:
      Fix the code for populating the table_tdata cache, and clarify
areas needing MIB-specific additions.

which tracks back to:

    commit ee0d3adb078291b743c9ecb76d20b591b7b15972
    Author: Steve Friedl <st...@unixwiz.net>
    Date:   Thu Sep 22 09:58:39 2011 +0100

    CHANGES: snmpd: 3409692: Calculate disk percentage usage via
floating-point arithmetic
    to avoid integer overflow errors.
    (Code based on the submitted patch, rather than applied verbatim)


We switched from SVN to Git in June last year, and I have a feeling
that it took a while to get the most sensible form of log messages
(in a form that the ChangeLog generation script could do something with).

It may be that this was one of the less-informative entries!


I doubt it's safe to ignore any ChangeLog entries, without having
a clearer idea of what they affected.
