Source: kgb-bot Version: 1.31-1 Severity: normal Suppose I am developing on branch A, pushing as I go, with kgb mentioning each change on IRC. After a long time, I reach a point where I merge A into branch B. When I push B, kgb will flood IRC with all the commits, which it has already mentioned before when they were made on A.
I just had kgb want to flood a channel with 2 months worth of commits, totaling 570 commits, when I updated a backport. I had to kill the bot to avoid the channel being unusable for a long time. I think the bot should either avoid mentioning commits that it's mentioned before, even if they're on a new branch now, or it should detect when it's been fed a lot of commits to the same branch and display a shortened message like "commit foo and 569 more". -- see shy jo
