For the n'th time: I sloppy with this package, because this package has 
never been intended to be published and because it's hardly of use to 
anybody but me.

That said, I am lazy and do not maintain a "ChangeLog" file and do not 
care about commit texts

If you had a closer look, you've noticed most of its commits carry 
commit messages reading "New", "Abandoned", "Regenerate".

I guess, I should move this package to a private area, like I have been 
doing for several years, such that its commits will not be visible to 
you anymore :(

Joel, please understand that I take this mail of yours as an ad-hominem 
attack, which I should better not respond to.

Now you are being hostile.

For the n'th time:
* You are complaining about the shortlogs subject lines vc-list emits.
These short logs are technically irrelevant.

* What counts is the ChangeLog files.
The shortlogs of my commits are the result of me using
"git commit -F <changes>", with <changes> being the text I added to 
ChangeLogs. This is identical to what I have been using with RTEMS, gcc, 
newlib, binutils and gdb commits for many years.

This causes the (long) "logs" to contain the same contents as the 
ChangeLogs (no loss of information), but causes the short logs to look 
"weired".

Also, they do not look any weirder than the short logs "deluxeinfo" had 
produced.

This is definitely not what you are doing here. I feel it's a reflection 
of the attitude you have been treating RTEMS in recent times.

I regret and consider it to be my personal fault not having made this a 
topic when we met face to face in Nuremberg.
