Re: helping with tracking commits across repos

[D M German]

 Greg KH twisted the bytes to say:

 >> http://o.cs.uvic.ca:20810/perl/next.pl

 Greg> Yes, that's a great thing.  Maybe the ability to see the subject: line

 Greg> Oh, and if you could do it for a specific kernel release, not a date

What would be the simplest approach to getting the date? I suspect that
it can be done by doing some command line magic in Linus git repo.

I's not difficult to do. I'll take care of it.
