Hi.
+1. But have one suggestion for format.
Something like
Broken by: rXXXXXXX
Broken by: Unknown (Bugfix but the revision introduced it is unknown)
and optionally
Broken by: No (To emphasize it's NOT a bugfix.)
I think that is probably too much, but the Broken by: would be
good.
would be better for scripts already handling "MFC after: " or
"X-MFC-With: " etc. to support this.
If put on the top with "MFC rXXXXXX: Comments", it can be
FIX rXXXXXX: Comments
possibly..
that Would allow some sort of collection of the data to suggest good
places to
retrospectively base your head following (but not too closely) branches.
but may be more work that people are willing to do..
For myself, just a hint of where the bug was introduced would help a lot.
further more if you have a branch/product based at some point in time,
this would help
you to know when a patch needs to be cherry picked back to your code.
or for multiple revisions,
FIX rXXXXXX rYYYYYY rZZZZZZ: Comments for multiple individuals
FIX rXXXXXX-rYYYYYY: Comments for massive continuous range
would be better.
Regards.

Hi,〓 I have a very small request to those committing into head.
If you commit a fix, then if it is possible to easily do so, can you
give the revision number in which the regression was introduced?
like "this was〓 broken in r329xxx"
this allows people who are looking for specific problems to say "Ok
that bug was introduced after the snapshot I'm working on and can't be
my issue".
(we are not always working on the very tip).
thanks
Julian
