It also includes the short, human-readable versions of the CC licenses. + +Borrowed commits +================ + +For work that started in other projects (e.g. the Linux kernel and +Git), I've cherry-picked the relevant commits from the project +repositories to preserve commit metadata. For each of these commits, +I've attached a note with the commit hash, original commit message, +and original commit repository. Fetch the `refs/notes/commits` +reference from my public repository if you want these notes. + +If I altered the original patch by removing context, I've added my +s-o-b. Otherwise the original patch applied cleanly, and I left my +s-o-b off. -- 2.26.2
