Thanks for your reply, John !

We want to go beyond and find more details about the commit message of 
each patch. Is there any way to access "SVN-Revision: 23602" info ?

Also whether these patches were already sent for upstream review ? We 
were planning to upstream these patches to hostapd.

Any thoughts ?
