Hi, I have been doing putbacks to Solars ON-gate since the early 90s, so I am very used to the Teamware way of doing things. I have read all the Mercurial docs (that I could find), but I'm still uncertain about the correct way to enter the comments which will be recorded with my push and which we are used to seeing in the gate notification mail inside Sun.
Is the following an acceptable approach? Do as many "commits" as you like in your repository clone, with whatever comments are useful to you. These are temporary. Then, when it's time to push (assuming hg pbchk is clean and RTI is approved), do a final 'hg recommit' and enter the *real* comments. Something like "hg recommit -l ~/comments.txt" where ~/comments.txt contains, for example, --- FWARC 2008/229 Virtual IO DR Domain Service 6651197 Add support for LDoms Virtual I/O Dynamic Reconfiguration (VIO DR) --- Another question: From what I have been able to tell from experiment, a commit message (or comment) applies to all the files which are currently uncommited and not any individual file. If I'm fixing several bugs in a changeset, have I lost the ability to enter file-specific comments? Thanks, Jim
