What in the world do you mean? When I actually commit this stuff, I'll have it all in a branch and merge it into net-next's master using "git merge --no-ff" and then use the merge commit to add this commit message test. Every damn set of changes I've commited over the past few weeks have used this technique, are you simply not paying attention?
