Re: small request regarding commits in binutils-gdb.git


Fair call, though the commit message format requirements might become
a bit onerous if done this way, OR, generation might generate quite a
few errors/misprints. I guess the rate of commits is pretty low, and
commit size pretty big, on average, for binutils, though.
