Hi Lachlan, thanks for merging some of my tidy-up patches. :)
A couple things -
I never saw the take messages go by the external list, just noticed them after a cvs update and an attempt to sync up my patchset. Can you guys please send the take messages externally too? It makes it much easier to keep up with what's going on, for those interested.
I sent the TAKE messages to [email protected], [email protected] and to Bugworks. We've had problems with email traffic to oss disappearing or taking up to 4 weeks to appear!

Also, please don't strip out the Signed-off-by: lines in contributed patches; that authorship information should stay with the patch. Feel free to add signed-off-by or reviewed-by but the original signed-off-by line shouldn't be removed...
Sorry about that, I didn't know about the signed-off-by thingy.
Lachlan,
I think this page
http://asg.melbourne.sgi.com/xfs/rampup/xfs_to_linus.shtml
needs to rewritten to make it clear about
- signed off by
- the one line at the start of the overall change description
- cc'ing [email protected]
- anything else?
The title of the page is not right either, we have other pages now describing how to push stuff to linus, and others talking about how to use git.
Could you have a go at this?
Thanks,
David
