Misty Stanley-Jones commented on HBASE-4593:
--------------------------------------------
I played around with git format-patch, but it seems to force you to only commit
once per branch, otherwise it will generate multiple files, and we have said
that we want only a single file per JIRA. Am I missing a way to make git
format-patch only generate a single file, or are you guys just using git stash
instead of git commit, until the very end? And how do you handle small changes
due to feedback?

> I have been building a tool (currently called reposync) to help me keep the
> internal FB hbase-92-based branch up-to-date with the public branches.
> Various inconsistencies in our process has made it difficult to automate a
> lot of this stuff.
> I'd like to work with everyone to come up with the official best practices
> and stick to it.
> I welcome all suggestions. Among some of the things I'd like to nail down:
> - Commit message format
> - Best practice and commit message format for multiple commits
> - Multiple commits per jira vs. jira per commit, what are the exceptions and
> when
> - Affects vs. Fix versions
> - Potential usage of [tags] in commit messages for things like book, scripts,
> shell... maybe even whatever is in the components field?
> - Increased usage of JIRA tags or labels to mark exactly which repos a JIRA
> has been committed to (potentially even internal repos? ways for a tool to
> keep track in JIRA?)
> We also need to be more strict about some things if we want to follow Apache
> guidelines. For example, all final versions of a patch must be attached to
> JIRA so that the author properly assigns it to Apache.
