Dear coreboot folks,


A lot of change sets to the new Memtest86+ project [1] hosted on the
coreboot infrastructure have been posted. Martin and Ben, thank you for
that!

The commit message summaries are prepended with *Memtest86+* making the
git history look like below.

```
$ git log --oneline
11248a0 Memtest86+: coreboot.c - Change var name to not mask other variable
f7b770a Memtest86+: Match function declaration with function definition
04f7f14 Memtest86+: Fix bit field that was getting masked off
6959343 Memtest86+: Fix non-ANSI C function declarations
5bb29b2 memtest86+: rewrite popup popdown popclear
fea5eb7 memtest86+: Add license file
[…]
```

I don’t see, how this is helpful. The project is also listed in the
Gerrit table [2].

If there is no compelling reason, it’d be really great if this could be
left out in future commit message summaries.


Thanks,

Paul
