Hello, There is some more explanations about what the call signs are for at https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/diffusion/#repository-callsigns-and In Gerrit a change is made unique using: - the project name - the targeted branch - the Change-Id field in the commit message With Arcanist / Diffusion it is done with: - a prefix 'r' standing for 'revision' - the call signs - the 16 first chars of the commit sha1 So given a call sign MWCORE for mediawiki/core and a commit 37a6d0e60d7d86f5f078d352f0a2d01e12fedbec we would end up referring to that commit with: rMWCORE37a6d0e60d7d86f5 Or at least that is how I understood it. One can see why the call sign should be short. The upstream doc states some examples and recommends to keep them as small as possible. From the doc: * Facebook uses "E" for the Engineering repository, "O" for the Ops repository, "Y" for a Yum package repository. * Phabricator uses "P", "ARC", "PHU" for libphutil, and "J" for Javelin. But then they only have six repos: https://secure.phabricator.com/diffusion/ If you look at a list of commit for the Phabricator project: https://secure.phabricator.com/diffusion/P/history/ You can see the r<call sign><sha1> next to the Diffusion revision number. I guess we will usually refers to either: - the Diffusion number (D1234) - the git sha1 that landed in the repos. And thus could live with whatever call sign since they will barely be used by humans. cheers, -- Antoine "hashar" Musso _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
