That doesn't address local patches. These were local patches that were 
upstreamed. I rea this as, if one got a patch from an upstream VCS repo but 
these were our local patches. At the very least the commit logs should 
reference the upstream commit log entry (which the openresolve one did but 
the awk commit did not). I think that a clear audit trail back to the 
vendor VCS, bug#, etc., be documented in the commit log.
