In this case, "net: " would be an appropriate prefix. Otherwise people scanning the shortlog in the repository cannot tell where you are making your changes. What if we had 100 commits all doing this same transformation? It is the subsystem prefix that helps people see what is unique in each such change. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
