[U-Boot-Users] CHANGELOG going forward?
It sounds like going forward git commit messages will be used for CHANGELOG generation? Is there a particular style that is desired for the commit messages? Should be doing signed-off-by like the kernel?
thanks

I second this idea of using the same syntax (e.g. signed-off-by...) like the linux kernel. Makes it easier to handle patches for both projects.

Besides; git gives us that handy-dandy '-s' switch; it'd be a shame not to use it. :)

Yes, the CHANGELOG will be (from time to time) auto-generated from the git commit messages.
git commit messages should start with a descriptive single line summary (which is what we will see as a quick overview in tools like gitk etc.), eventually followed by additional description.
Yes, please include signed-off-by.
