Agreed with the usual exception: there are minor patches where the subject line suffices, and there's no point in trying to create a second sentence of description. Such patches are not particularly common, although they're frequent enough that maintainers see them regularly. We need to rely on maintainers to make sure that patches which get committed have *enough* description. Fixing submitted descriptions is OK ... although it's better to have the original submitter do that, especially if they've signed off on a specific version of patch + description. > While this may seem redundant, it makes > browsing the logs much more pleasant. > > Assuming that other maintainers agree with this policy, this is worth > mentioning in the PATCHES file and developer manual. > _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
