So, bad Alfred, no cookie. :) Just for clarification... We ask that you send your complete *proposed commit message* in your *approval request*. We didn't say that your commit message needs to include all of the text from the commit to head. So, bad Doug, no cookie. :-) FWIW my preference is, as usual, somewhere in between the two extremes. Duplicating a lengthy commit message in a merge is overkill but in those cases a short (one sentence max) summary of what changed being in the merge commit message is helpful. For example when looking through the commits for release notes fodder it can help. It also helps people who take the peer review of commits being done seriously to get the warm fuzzy feeling that the merge wasn't an accidental mis-merge (by seeing that the code seems to match the brief description). --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-oEGsUu8QJtWkVXcXRaIs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkqekOQACgkQ/G14VSmup/YWfQCfSnHu68c34PDsv+MGUw5LCkvs aAcAn3qSX4C2+6izZMbGIwsmKfvVZkRq =kamy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-oEGsUu8QJtWkVXcXRaIs--
