Generally I think it is better you have a smaller commit subject and you
increase the commit log with all changes.

I know very well why, but this is against the logic that the delivered
environment is quite generic for all situation. Setting rootpath is for
me not different as setting ip address, that is it is a local
configuration and should be not linked with the code.

Even if it is smaller, I guess we fight with the same issue of Dennis'
patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/261969/
that I rejected. We are moving from a a dynamic environment to a fully
static environment, decided at compile time. If you read the whole
thread, you can also see Wolfgang's comments about it. Generally, U-Boot
is thought to be easy extendible with the environment, and each user can
add his own environment on base of his needs.
However, in the last times I got al lot of changes to fix the
environment - suitable for one use case. It is true, I merged most of
them (shame on me !), but it seems to me that doing in this way becomes
not maintainable.
In the discussion about Dennis's patch there are some proposals how to
get a single image (we have plenty of tools in u-boot to get a ready to
use image for the environment and to import it to set is as current
one), and how to import / export the environment.
Maybe should we change the way we are adding the environment ? It should
be better (*really* better) if we do not need to change the code when a
variable is changed. We could maybe define a standard way (common
command) to load the environment from the storage, and only this command
can be put into CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS. The whole environment itself
will be put into a separate file(s), compiled as image and loaded when
needed. The user could select which file must be loaded.

Stefano Babic
