+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add support for DISABLE_DOCUMENTATION
+
+This commit adds the support for a make variable named
+"DISABLE_DOCUMENTATION", which allows to disable the build of the
+documentation. This is useful in contexts where the tools needed to
+build the documentation are not necessarily available.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Improve static building and installation
+
+This commit improves the static-only building of btrfs-progs, and adds
+support for installing the static only tools:
+
+ - It now ensures that all programs are built statically, not only a
+   small subset of them, by defining 'progs_static' from the existing
+   'progs' variable.
+
+ - It changes the order of libraries in the btrfs-%.static rule so
+   that -lpthread (part of STATIC_LIBS) appears *after* the '$($(subst
+   -,_,$(subst .static,,$@)-libs))' logic, which brings in
+   -lcom_err. This is needed because libcom_err.a uses the semaphore
+   functions, which are available in the pthread library.
+
+ - Adds the necessary rules to generate the btrfsck.static link and
+   btrfstune.static binary.
+
+ - Adds an 'install-static' target to install the static
+   binaries. Note that they are renamed to not carry a '.static'
+   suffix.
