I don't know what scripts are being used and what they expect, but our documentation says (Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst): If your patch fixes a bug in a specific commit, e.g. you found an issue u= sing ``git bisect``, please use the 'Fixes:' tag with the first 12 characters = of the SHA-1 ID, and the one line summary. Do not split the tag across mult= iple lines, tags are exempt from the "wrap at 75 columns" rule in order to sim= plify parsing scripts. But, that being said, doing the rewrite is up to the maintainer. You could just look at this as a learning experience and do better in the future. BTW, my script reacted to the missing closing quotes and parentheses, which is more like to confuse any scripts that the actual truncation. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell --Sig_/e_YH8od_GObSxcrR9wOXMw+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEENIC96giZ81tWdLgKAVBC80lX0GwFAmKaqWUACgkQAVBC80lX 0Gw5mAf/TwvrqpX9h9B2646RLernspdTcY3nPmjQD/BqjNYThjAPEBDx3+3ICluT xTeWaSdhKu4B9HBu889ZKRXYLUcllNsaCE3rmIeXZFgZyEZzDKrTGznJ0LKGMRf0 GdH2pWQon6W49mXV5Lq2BRsEegUV7lDrZ2GhsdvgbRqXQyU/QxcVDIafE5xXVAIH ogLV03FBWzD1nCiJPYa0P//J6R4fImN61nYR3w/c3kXuhHmbcmiNelgoeZnwwifO Ucj3gGhn6ihl7WsGGmF/oa5agoN3XvAhTBjFTX9HFbZtJQJOpUUboWKAA6th+O2N 0a5Z1svKJBQhTiiFCxHplUmtWA6ttg== =AZ0f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/e_YH8od_GObSxcrR9wOXMw+--
