In my previous mail i have marked the below urls as eg: http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?h=2.6.20-rc1-ci-to-linus;p=ci-to-linus.git;a=shortlog http://git.openssi.org/~kvaneesh/gitweb.cgi?h=2.6.19-rc1-ci-to-linus;p=ci-to-linus.git;a=shortlog -aneesh - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
