I don't like subject tags to distinguish mailing lists, but inside a mailing list, subject tags for sub-topics are helpful. Just like many people use [PATCH] in the subject to indicate that the message contains a patch to be reviewed by people liking to review patches and ignored by people who like to ignore patches, the commit notifications could have a short subject prefix or suffix, too. Alternatively a fixed From: address can be used here. As soon as you're using more than one repository, having the repository name in the subject helps distinguishing commits for the separate repositories. I use subjects which don't include the short description, but may contain more than one commit, the subjects are like this: Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 10 new changesets Subject: mercurial/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: 2 new changesets Subject: mercurial/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: new changeset (with header From: Mercurial Commits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) Maybe something like this? Subject: CCD are using subversion [scm-migration/docs] Thomas -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://intevation.de/~thomas/ _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
