Subject: GIT commit description flag(s)
Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 02:35:00 +0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47DC4104.1070109@permonline.ru> (raw)

It would be nice if [kernel] git commits had a flag [a char] (or a 
combination of) describing their main purpose which could be the following:

bug Fix [F]
Speed up/Performance [S]
Revert [R]
New functionality [N]

etc.

So a particular commit at 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=summary

will look like:

19 hours ago 	Ingo Molnar 	sched: fix fair sleepers 	[F] commit | 
commitdiff | tree | snapshot

This way it will be much easier to keep track of important changes 
happening to the kernel.
