You should try to read your commit message summary to yourself as if you did not know what the change is about, because that's what it is useful for: giving people a good idea of the change. If the summary tells everything except the actual source code change, that's good. A summary of "arm: fix comments" indicates two things about the change: explicitly, that it is about ARM; and implicitly, that it is cosmetic. But it does not say which part of U-Boot it applies to, even though this single file can be mentioned in a summary line. Readers will have to waste some time looking at the change content to find out. Plus, if it is cosmetic, then the fact that it is about ARM does not matter that much, does it? e.g., someone looking for ARM changes that might explain a weird behavior will most certainly not be interested in this change even though it is ARM. For instance, a cosmetic fix on ARM code could easily go in the mainline tree without going through the ARM tree first. So, I'd put "cosmetic:" first, but admittedly, that's a debatable point. So... how about a V3 with a commit summary of "cosmetic: arm: fix comments in arch/arm/lib/crt0.S" ? People reading the summary for no particular reason will know all there is to know except the detailed comment fixes; people looking for crt0 changes will see it, and so will people looking for ARM changes, but "cosmetic:" will help them move it aside in their search; "cosmetic:" helps deciding whether to apply the patch and to which tree; etc. > I'm new here, and I'm not sure this kind of update is mandatory. > I will appreciate any advice.
