PETSc developers,
This message is mostly directed at petsc-developers at ANL but could be
useful for everyone.
It is sometimes useful to track for what project and how much time is
spent on particular commits in PETSc. If you add a file called .gitmessage in
your home directory it is automatically included in the message when you do a
git commit. I suggest putting the following in your .gitmessage file
Funded-by:
Project:
Time:
Reported-by:
Thanks-to:
then when you write your git commit message you can delete the lines that are
not relevant and put in information that is relevant. This can help us track
and justify the work done under various funded projects. If you don't know what
funded by or project to list just ask.
Make the time in decimals of an hour for easy post processing, for example .2
hours. Reported-by: is for bug reports mostly while Thanks-to: is for feature
requests or suggestions on how to do things better.
Thanks
Barry
