So, it's *really* important that we write nice first line message and then a nice commit message for each commit :) It will help the maintainer's life a lot :D Cheers, ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

I've tried a quick google but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this using subversion? John.

As soon as we move to git I can create such a template for us :) Not that it's hard, just that someone needs to step up and as I'm already talking too much on this thread I can do that :P Cheers, ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
