From: Greg Kroah-Hartman on 22 Apr 2010 18:50 From: Stefan Richter <stefanr(a)s5r6.in-berlin.de> It is a hard requirement to include the upstream commit ID in the changelog of a -stable submission, not just a courtesy to the stable team. This concerns only mail submission though, which is no longer the only way into stable. (Also, fix a double "the".)
