We use a source code management system for changelogs. (git) Patch comments (changelog info) go in the email at the top of the patch. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches and http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt and http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html for more info. --- ~Randy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
