I have another suggestion related to commit messages. Generally git commit messages follow following template: ----- First line contains summary of the change
After one empty line there is more or less free-form text describing the commit in more detail. This can include: * lists * urls * basically anything But commiters should always treat first line of commit message the same way they treat subjects of emails: Try to summarize the commit in <80 characters. No bullet points, no dashes in the beginning etc. ----- git format-patch sort of assumes this template when generating patches. I am not sure where this might be written down, but I believe it would improve readability of commit logs slightly :-) Quoting Olivier Lamy (2012-11-30 09:04:51) > In the future could we avoid those non necessary commit ? > I have started a git convention page here: > http://maven.apache.org/developers/conventions/git.html > See the workflow section. > All fixes/improvements for this doc will be appreciate :-) > > 2012/11/30 <jvan...@apache.org>: > > Updated Branches: > > refs/heads/master 1fe432b5d -> af88f8500 > > > > > > Merge branch 'master' of https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven > > > > > > Project: http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/repo > > Commit: http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/commit/af88f850 > > Tree: http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/tree/af88f850 > > Diff: http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/diff/af88f850 > > > > Branch: refs/heads/master > > Commit: af88f8500d5ba23a6b68773e12f38e832d0d7ea9 > > Parents: 97e8ae2 1fe432b > > Author: Jason van Zyl <ja...@tesla.io> > > Authored: Thu Nov 29 15:08:30 2012 -0800 > > Committer: Jason van Zyl <ja...@tesla.io> > > Committed: Thu Nov 29 15:08:30 2012 -0800 > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > > > > -- > Olivier Lamy > Talend: http://coders.talend.com > http://twitter.com/olamy | http://linkedin.com/in/olamy > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotni...@redhat.com> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
