[Quilt-dev] 'quilt refresh' eats valid changelog text

[Greg KH]

Hi,

I just got a report where quilt "ate" the changelog text of a commit
that seems to be valid to me.

If you look at the Linux kernel commit 6a4db2a60306 ("md: md_open
returns -EBUSY when entering racing area"), it has in the body this
text (indented here to show more obviously):

        For more detail, please refer with Christoph's "split mddev_find" patch
        in later commits.

        *** env ***
        kvm-qemu VM 2C1G with 2 iscsi luns
        kernel should be non-preempt

        *** script ***

        about trigger every time with below script

and it goes on.

But when imported into quilt, everything after, and including the line
"*** env ***" is cut off in the changelog header.

I tried to debug this myself, but I really don't understand the awk
regex in 'refresh.in' and why this is needed:

        /^#? .* \|  *[1-9][0-9]* /  { eat = eat $0 "\n"

Nor how that triggers the above.

Any hints on how to resolve this?

thanks,
