Subject: - documentation-prune-redundant-submitchecklist-items.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:22:25 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200802150225.m1F2PinL015183@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)


The patch titled
     Documentation: prune redundant SubmitChecklist items
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     documentation-prune-redundant-submitchecklist-items.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: Documentation: prune redundant SubmitChecklist items
From: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>

Kernel style is mentioned twice, and the git apply trick is a bit redundant
given the checkpatch.pl recommendation (which also checks for bad
whitespace).
