Sure. I suppose I can liberally borrow (and reference) the description instead of quoting. > If you already found a similar commit description feel free to link as I > could be totally wrong about this. Eh, my quick search didn't really find any. The closest was something like this: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=0dc58214896aacf67a3759495d70e2b4e9c160d8 where at least some of the larger metadata (author, commiter, dates) were pasted.
