Subject: [dpdk-dev] [Process] Git Fixline Suggestion
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 08:40:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E923DB57A917B54B9182A2E928D00FA640C3B9E3@IRSMSX102.ger.corp.intel.com> (raw)
Hi All,
I propose to add CC: <author> to the output of the git fixline command[1].
The logic here is that if it is a fix to the previous code, the original author of that code should be informed. Currently the author must read the mailing-list carefully in order to ensure that no patches are missed, that fix code that they are the author of.
The new workflow is the same as before: copy the output of "git fixline" into the commit message. The output would now be two lines as follows:
Fixes: 17b8320a3e11 ("vhost: remove index parameter")
cc: author@domain.com
The following git fixline achieves this:
git log -1 --abbrev=12 --format="Fixes: %h (\"%s\")%nCC:%ae"
Opinions? -Harry
