www.kernel.org git changelog feature

[Maciej Soltysiak]

Hi,

how about adding to the kernel list at http://kernel.org
a link to the git log.

Currently we have:
F V VI C Changelog

How about adding a link to the respestive git logs ?

F V VI C Changelog GIT

GIT might be a link to:
        http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog
or
        http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=log

Personally I like better view through the changes looking at the git shortlog,
which is much more readable than files like patch-2.6.12-git10.log

Well git log is also more readable than the patch-git.log thing.

Whaddya think?

Regards,
Maciej

An abbreviated shortlog is the first thing on the "C" page, and there is 
already a link there to the full one.
