340ea3972f [PATCH] remove redundant info from SubmittingPatches
Since the Trivial Patch Monkey is mentioned both in steps 4.  and 5., I
removed it from step4 (Select e-mail destination), since it should go under
'Select your CC list'.

cbd83da82b Update DCO ("signoff") rules to 1.1
This adds a clause that notes explicitly that the person doing the
sign-off knows that the project (and his sign-off) is public and will
possibly get archived and re-distributed.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
