Re: [Gnu-arch-users] patch log - blank last line?

[Charles Duffy]

Convention is to put only very brief text in "Summary", and then longer
text following the blank line after the initial headers -- it's kind of
RFC2822-style.

Here's an example of one entry from "tla changelog" output:

For this, my log file looked as follows:

> Summary: Always use rlog
> Keywords:

Does that clarify things a bit?
