What are the semantics of that? [...] Nice feature. Can a later commit be eventually be made to reference some set of notes added so far, so they become part of the whole history signed by the HEAD SHA1? hence pulled/pushed automatically as well. Otherwise do you not end up with a forever growing separate tree of notes that loses some of the properties of being behind the head SHA1 (and perhaps less scalable in manageability)? Also that way notes are separate only temporarily. As for automating the inclusion of notes in the flow, can that be conditional on some pattern in the note, so that e.g. the Acked-by's get included and folded in automatically, whereas others do not, according to settings? -Marc -- 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/
