I always add a bug report in as a Link tag, if it exists. I think we agree that's a good thing, because it shows the origin of the patch and what it's supposed to fix. If someone sends me a patch which may be a bug or a feature, add the link IFF discussion actually happened there. Useful discussion, presumably? Because what typically ends up happening is that someone sends a series, and there's discussion, and then V2 is posted. Repeat until good. When Vn is applied, there's zero discussion. But a link to Vn is useful in that it helps you find Vn-1 and so forth, as it leads to the cover letter. We can put the cover letter link in there, but that's not useful in an big series, as it'd be in all the patches. Create temporary branch, apply series, merge into branch where it belongs and include the Link to the cover letter? Or the cover letter itself? And probably more? -- Jens Axboe
