In order to make life easier for maintainers, please consider
including an appropriate commit message. The current norms for these,
for Quagga, are documented in the HACKING file:

http://code.quagga.net/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=quagga.git;f=HACKING;hb=master

in the "COMMIT MESSAGES" section. The "PATCH SUBMISSION" section may
also be useful.

Please do try to provide a useful summary-line (first line of the
commit mesasge), as this makes it much easier to create the release
summaries using "git log --oneline". Please try to prefix the line
with a suitable tag to indicate which part of the code is affected
(e.g. "bgpd", "lib", "build"). Try to be regular, if suitable - a
quick look at "git log --oneline" will show you what useage is
typical.

We're not using "sign-off" lines in Quagga at the moment.

HACKING is a living document, please do feel free to suggest changes
to it here for discussion.

regards,
