...and use a commit with an obnoxiously long summary in the example to
make it abundantly clear that keeping the tag on a single line takes
priority over wrapping at 75 columns. Without the explicit exemption,
one might assume splitting the tag is acceptable, even encouraged, e.g.
due to being conditioned by checkpatch's line length warning.
Per Stephen's scripts[1] and implied by commit bf4daf12a9 ("checkpatch:
avoid some commit message long line warnings"), splitting the 'Fixes:'
tag across multiple lines is a no-no, presumably because parsing multi-
line tags is unnecessarily painful.

It seems that Linus looks for [GIT PULL] in subject lines to ensure that
pull requests don't get buried in the noise during merge windows. Update
the docs to reflect that.

There shouldn't be a blank line at the beginning, if there is no
optional in-body "From" line. There must be a blank line between
the body of the explanation and the beginning of the S-o-b lines.

The main goal here was to get the subsections to show in the TOC as they do
for all the other documents. Also call out the DCO in the section title
since it's important.

The previous patch renamed several files that are cross-referenced
along the Kernel documentation. Adjust the links to point to
the right places.

Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.
As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.
