I think majority of AsciiDoc files in this project places [[anchor]]
before the "=== title" of a section. For example, here is how the
patch flow section begins in SubmittingPatches:
[[patch-flow]]
=== A typical life cycle of a patch series
To help us understand the reason behind various guidelines given later
in the document, first let's understand how the life cycle of a
typical patch series for this project goes.
I do not offhand know which way is kosher, but we should be
consistent either way.
Thanks.
