Ralf.. you are trolling.

You are not stupid and you know exactly what you are doing and
why putting the date/name line from a ChangeLog format entry
as the git summary is wrong.  You maintained the build system
in your own git repository since 2006 according to the history here:

http://git.rtems.org/rtems-buildsys/log/?ofs=1050

You managed to have summary lines there for 6 years there.
I believe you did this to make a public point.

Don't bother replying.  It is Lent -- use these 40 days to learn
to become a team player.
