What is a TINYCHANGE cookie? I see it alluded to in many messages about
patches for the Org code base, but googling it has left me with no
information.

"If the change is a minor change made by a committer without
copyright assignment to the FSF, the commit message should also
contain the cookie TINYCHANGE (anywhere in the message). When
we later produce the ChangeLog file for Emacs, the change will
be marked appropriately."

If you submit a patch, and it adds less than 20 lines (or is mostly a
rewrite of some form) then you add that in the commit message so that
the patch can be accepted without you needing to sign the FSF copyright
release papers. Of course if you have signed the papers, then you need
not be concerned about it.

It was the word 'cookie' that threw me. I was picturing a
Netscape-style cookie, a separate file, following a specified format.
Thanks for the info...
