Re: ACNA20 and Apache https's 25th anniversary

2019-10-15 Thread Rich Bowen
I've added httpd to
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W8DEs0nr1SUTlyTo9dj6SG0u2tFSwvRhoDVb9vYb_r0/edit#gid=0
for a tentative one day. If you think we can fill more than one
room-day, please speak up.

I could presumably do a mod_rewrite talk, although I am sure I need to
bring my knowledge up to date a little. I'd love to see a bunch of
new/first-time speakers from the younger generation of httpd developers.

Yes.

The log message is part of the commit hash. You can effectively delete the
"tip" commit of a line-of-development, and replace it with a new commit
(ie. same code changes, but edited log msg). That new commit would have a
different hash. If people sync'd the old commit/hash, their clones are
basically broken post-edit.

It is effectively impossible to edit a log message if it is not-tip. That
is because each ongoing commit has a "parent [hash]" incorporated into its
hash signature. So if you go back in time to edit C1, then you're gonna to
regenerate hashes for C2, C3, and C4 that came after it. With the
corresponding breakage of clones.

Arguments can be made for whether this is pro/con, but I think is not worth
discussing here.

Maybe a git dummy question, but how do you adjust log messages for already 
pushed commits without force-pushing?
In Subversion you can just do svn propedit svn:log --revlog -r, but 
for git?

I have edited my own log message recently to improve it and I know that others 
do it to indicate that a commit was
reverted by a future revision or to add CVE numbers after vulnerabilities are 
public.
Would we loose this possibility with git?
