BACKPORT keyword

2013-08-18 Thread Mark Kretschmann
Heya,

I just had a smart idea, which happens rarely enough: If we make
commits where we already know that they should be backported later,
put the keyword BACKPORT in the commit log. Later when we assemble the
stable branch we can then simply grep over the whole log.

Yeah, this is a good idea, I in fact had a very similar one.

Still, when making possible 2.8.1, I'll go through all master commits and 
judge them as we *will* forget to add that tag. It is nonetheless still useful 
as the author thinks this should be backported.

Also please note that due to the fact we don't have stable/trunk translation 
branches (to keep things easy for translators), any BACKPORT commits should 
respect string freeze (we can change that, but it would be another 
discussion).
