    Has the recommended format for git submissions from maintainers to
    mainline been described?

    Presumably something along the lines of
    1) create a specially named git branch in the maintainer's kernel.org
    clone of the linux-2.6 git tree
    2) create a summary of the changes with the output of cg-diff -r
    origin:HEAD run through some filter
    3) send an email message with the above to Linus

    -
    To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in
    the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
