A process note...

If you are building against torvalds/linux-2.6.git -- a good thing -- 
then it is helpful to include the top-most commit id in your message [if 
you feel it is relevant information].

For patches, meta-information like commit ids or special instructions to 
the maintainer can be included following a "---" separator (on a line by 
itself).

As an example, see this patch from Tejun, which includes a diffstat(1) 
output and note about MAXTOR in the meta-information area of the patch:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=118835646130927&w=2

Our tools are specially programmed to exclude the meta-information from 
the text copied into the permanent kernel linux-2.6.git changelog.
