Hi Petr

Oh, I see commit title in metadata that I don't see it before.

Tag	   Info
linux-git 93bc420ed41d ("ext2: support statx syscall")

linux-git 99652ea56a41 ("ext4: Add statx support")

linux-git 04a87e347282 ("Btrfs: add statx support")

linux-git 5f955f26f3d4 ("xfs: report crtime and attribute flags to statx")


But user that doesn't use metadata(miss this usage or miss dependent 
package ie rubygem-asciidoctor), then they only see some numbers in tag 
but know nothing.

IMO, it is not clear like min_kever.

Best Regards
