Dear Greg,
Looking at the change-log of the stable series, there are two lines between the commit messages summary [1] and the first line of the commit message body.
commit 4c8e0270dc7afb10d4e06be4adfd177db5cb3cb8 Author: Tang Junhui tang.junhui@zte.com.cn Date: Wed Feb 7 11:41:46 2018 -0800
bcache: fix for data collapse after re-attaching an attached device
[ Upstream commit 73ac105be390c1de42a2f21643c9778a5e002930 ]
I assume you scripts generate that. Could they be changed to just add one blank line?
Kind regards,
Paul

Just FWIW the ones appearing in the changelog seem to only affect Sasha's autosel commits, which have a From line in the body. It might be that the automatic removal of this From leaves only the previous and next empty lines, resulting in what you observe.
Just my two cents, Willy

It's my script that messes with that, sometimes, and not others. I haven't really taken the time to figure it out, it's here: https://github.com/gregkh/gregkh-linux/blob/master/stable/dave_split.pl if you want to figure it out :)
Is this really causing a problem with anything? It's just an "extra" blank line, nothing is being attributed incorrectly.
thanks,
greg k-h

Ok, now that I see this, I can't "unsee" it, so I fixed the issue in my script. Shouldn't happen again.
