The tag section of the commit has some predefined tags that could be somehow "legally binding" like the Signed-off, other can help to gather statistics about the devlopment process (reviewed, reported, tested) and the rest is basically free-form that should make sense to a human reader. So Link: or Bugzilla: would work. There were suggestions to formalize the links to email discussions but there was also opposition to formalize too much. Also, the important bits should be in the changelog as the mail archives are volatile as we've seen already. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
