Hey everyone,
I want to institute a few policies now that we've made the move to
Subversion:
* ChangeLogs will be generated from "svn log -v" at
release-time. This means that commit messages should be
descriptive about what changes where made to what code and why.
If it makes you feel better, you can use the old ChangeLog
format for your modifications. But one-line commit messages for
large changes are no longer acceptable.
* Any commit which touches a bugzilla bug must be identified in
the commit message. "Fixes bgo #123456" or "See bgo #234567
comment 5" are good examples. (bgo is bugzilla.gnome.org;
others might be bnc for bugzilla.novell.com, brc for
bugzilla.redhat.com, luc for launchpad.ubuntu.com)
* Once a bug is fixed in svn, update the bug to say what
revision it was fixed in. "Fixed in svn, r1234" is good.
This will make tracking changes, looking back at history, and doing
releases much easier.
Thanks!
Joe
