I'm assuming you're familiar with the industry-wide standard for how to write
a commit message (summary line of 50 characters or less, then if you need
to type more, skip a line and then make the longer description lines of 72
characters or less).
If you're doing that in the commit message, then when you create a merge
request you can just copy the same data over (or it might actually do that
automatically, I don't remember). That way you won't have to needlessly
duplicate
work.
The whole GitLab thing is new for us, so as we get comfortable in it I'll
probably have certain information get posted to this room automatically.
I saw your last merge request because you told it to specifically go to me,
but maybe we can have all such things get posted here automatically. Like
I said, we'll figure out what's comfortable.
As for issues and enhancements, we have a "Citadel Issue
Tracker" wiki room that I totally forgot to add you to until now. From a
quick scan of it, I think some of the open issues have been fixed and I need
to close them. I'm not sure whether using the GitLab issue tracker would
be better or not. In the distant past we had a Bugzilla and it got to be
a huge mess with people logging poorly researched bugs and feature enhancements.
Now shut up and code ;)
