Remove the magical "repo-abbrev" comment added when this file was introduced in e0ab1ec9fcd3 ([PATCH] add .mailmap for proper git-shortlog output, 2007-02-14). It's been an undocumented feature of git-shortlog(1), originally added to git for Linus's use. Since then he's no longer using it[1], and I've removed the feature in git.git's 4e168333a87 (shortlog: remove unused(?) "repo-abbrev" feature, 2021-01-12). It's on the "master" branch, but not yet in a release version. Let's also remove it from linux.git, both as a heads-up to any potential users of it in linux.git whose use would be broken sooner than later by git itself, and because it'll eventually be entirely redundant. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAHk-=wixHyBKZVUcxq+NCWMbkrX0xnppb7UCopRWw1+oExYpYw@mail.gmail.com/ Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
