Is the published commit (from 2016-08-08 / 2016-08-18) generally questionable
as I see it by the interface "cgit" at the moment?

* Does this one contain only the deletion of the file "Documentation/coccinelle.txt"?

* How should the result from the mentioned action "add it to dev-tools"
  look like finally?

* How could the acknowledgements happen for a software transformation
  which seems to be incomplete there?


I find another data display also interesting and more promising.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9269973/

* Should this patch about the desired file format conversion become available
  also by the other known interfaces?

* Would it have been nicer to include a corresponding update for the file
  "scripts/coccicheck" there, too?

* Do we need to clarify the distribution of the correct version any further?


Regards,
Markus
