My suggestion is that this should go in a comment of the forked test, e.g. # Based on generic/579 with fsverity-specific bits removed That way, if someone fixes a problem in generic/579 in the future, a quick grep might turn up other tests that need a similar adjustment. The commit trailer doesn't seem as useful to me since it's harder to find. - Ted
