Because the text in "[]" is considered to be something which should be discarded when the patch is applied. This convention is useful because things like sequence numbering, kernel version information, etc are only relevant when you sent the patch and are not relevant when the patches hit the git tree. Bottom line: please do include the subsystem ideitification as you have tried to do, but please do not place it inside "[]". As described in the very fine http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt, better Subject:s here would have been Subject: [PATCH 2/5] GFS2: Cleanup explicit check for mandatory locks Subject: [PATCH 3/5] 9PFS: Cleanup explicit check for mandatory locks Subject: [PATCH 4/5] AFS: Cleanup explicit check for mandatory locks Subject: [PATCH 5/5] NFS: Cleanup explicit check for mandatory locks Extreme trivia: I don't consider a colon to terminate a sentence, so if I can be bothered I'll convert "Cleanup" there to "cleanup". And I don't consider "cleanup" to be a word, so it becomes "clean up". And I'll usually remvoe the final "." from the end of the subject because it's basically just a waste of space. - 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/
