It possible but few people understand how it works. > I think this pollutes the history a bit. Especially considering this > sort of metadata isn't necessarily specific to a given diff. I think it is relevant in a permanent way. When running a suite, we do it on a given diff. For instance, in a 10 commit pull request, we run the suite on the head of the branch, which will later become the second parent of the merge. Should we want to test at a later time, long after the pull request has been merged, we will be able to do it using the same suite. > Also should be considered that this is a field that may make sense today > but may not make much sense in 10, 15 years.

It also holds for stable branches since we maintain stable branches for ceph-qa-suite as well. So, for backporting 3 commits from a given pull request, it will also help to know that the backport could also be tested with this specific suite. And if the suite is missing the test, it's also a good hint that this test needs to be backported as well. > In any case, if there's absolutely no other way to do this and the other > folk thinks it's important to have this, I will certainly not be the > party pooper ;) :-) FWIW, I think the Backport: field should not be used ( see http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/wiki/HOWTO_schedule_an_issue_for_backporting#Backport-field-in-the-commit-messages for the full rationale ). But I think the "teuthology" field being used *prior* to the pull request being merged makes sense and is a valuable addition to the commit history. Cheers -- Loïc Dachary, Artisan Logiciel Libre
