Well, in the case here where the ack comes in after the pull request, obviously only the merger (Linus) can add it, but for older ones, it seems like an obvious git feature request to have comments in the annotated tag automatically copied to the merge commit message draft. That way, the subsystem maintainer could write a branch summary, like the [PATCH 0/n] summaries that are popular, and have it automatically included in the history. That just seems a more sensible place to put things than the pull request e-mail. (Preserving the signed annotated tag object itself is another intriguing possibility, but not only is it a huge format change to create a way for a commit to point to a tag, but I also don't see how to avoid tag name collision problems.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
