How do we know where should it be backported? It is fixing a bug with a correct implementation because of a buggy dependency. But it is still a bug. So I think we should put a Fixes: line. > > There should be similar cases like this. Thus, this patch makes > git-log-fixes.sh script also list those stable commits do not have > fixline. I am against putting Cc: stable without Fixes: line. However, this patch is harmless.
