I actually prefer bug numbers in the header. When looking at the gerrit dashboard it's useful to see from the commit message whether it is a bug or enhancement to determine what code I should review first (bugs always win).
I also tend to write very verbose commit messages so I like to put the bug in the header so the message itself can be ignored if necessary. Apologies in advanced if I have started another bike shed conversation.. :D On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 1:46 PM, Chad <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > This is a friendly reminder to everyone about the preferred way to > link to bugs in your commit messages.
