Is there any > reason for "# " to continue in a world where we have "Fixes:"? The main annoyance I have with Fixes is because it can be a pain to figure out what the "# " would be. Something like: % tag --contains DEADBEEF | grep ^v | head doesn't work because kernel version numbers don't sort obviously. So v4.10 comes before v4.3 using a normal sort, and even sort -n doesn't do the right. I suppose it wouldn't be that hard to write a perl/python script that correctly sorts kernel version numbers, but when the "# " is present, I find it convenient. (Also note that even with fast SSD's and/or everything in page cache, runnning "tag --contains " will take a good 3-4 seconds, and if the git packs are not in the page cache, and/or you're unfortunate enough to have your git trees on an HDD.... it's not pretty.) - Ted
