I hate those 'git patches' and 'updated from upstream' logs. That gives 
no version information. I would prefer to see some snapshot / upstream 
revision number, which I could use to check actual changes upstream.

Or full upstream patches, with their commit messages. The 
'glibc-git.patch' with 'updated from upstream' logs is not much more 
useful than a random binary blob.
