+A quick list of rules for committing stuff into netfilter git:
+
+- Always add an appropriate description, in git format
+ (i.e. first line is a summary)
+
+- Please try to include references to bugs when the description does not
+ include total discussion coverage or when the bug report is external to
+ netfilter-devel, e.g.
+ "Closes: netfilter bugzilla #123", or
+ "Reference: http://bugs.{debian,gentoo}.org/..."
+
+- If you touch any parts of libxtables (xtables.c, include/xtables.h.in),
+ make sure the so-version is updated _appropriately_ (i.e. read the
+ libtool manual about Versioning:: first, if need be) in configure.ac.
+ Adding fields to a struct always entails a vcurrent bump.
+
+ - Check, whether a bump (vcurrent,vage) has already been made since the
+ last release (no more than one per release), e.g.:
+ git log v1.4.4.. configure.ac
