Hi, Not too long ago all the messages in the git log started with the corresponding jira. I found this habit very useful. The how to contribute page asks to have a jira first for each change. I guess with allowing pull requests we have to update the how to contribute page as well (which only describes attaching patch and using review board).
I would like to ask committers to reestablish the habit of having a jira for each commit and start the message with that jira. If we would like to relax the have jira for each change (for pull requests) then I would suggest putting the request id as the first thing in the commit message. instead of: Author: Mike Percy <mpe...@apache.org> Date: Wed Oct 12 19:32:13 2016 +0200 Remove test dependencies from binary release artifact This patch removes some test-specific dependencies from the binary release artifact.
