If a commit fixes a bug or implements a feature, it is helpful that there is a corresponding jira case, and that the jira case is referenced in the commit message, in the following format "[OPTIQ-nnn] Description of jira case". I believe that this is the norm in other Apache projects. I propose that we do this too.
For example, Vladimir, I just created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPTIQ-310 for your pull request https://github.com/julianhyde/optiq/pull/306, and when I commit I will set the commit message to [OPTIQ-310] Implement LEAD, LAG and NTILE windowed aggregates (By the way, I shall be committing to our new git repo, git.apache.org/incubator-optiq.git, as soon as I have authorization. You can see the 3 optiq git repos at http://git.apache.org/.) Comments? Julian
