You are aware, that the idea that putting [PATCH] in the line means you
are committing a patch, is pretty much different than every other project?
Look at GCC, fer instance.
[PATCH] means it's a patch, to be looked at.
It's very confusing to submit patches to GDB, when it's the only one with
different procedures.
