I'm always loose, just a bit distracted recently. :P Btw, @backport is implied by @fix. I.e only commits that should be backported are marked as @fix. The rest should not, as it's not of interest to the news file or anything, and is just "development". I'm with stefan though, I'm against using tech measures to solve this social issue. The way I see it, there are 2 ways to go at it: 1. Bad cop: Warn repeating offenders, and remove commit access if they fail to improve. Commit messages are an important part of sw dev. If people can't do that, we can't trust them with commit access. 2. Good cop: You get a free pass to ignore commits that do not pass your quality control when preparing the news/release info and etc. Essentially making it so offenders to get credit for their fixes/features. I prefer the second option, but the first 1 is also valid. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
