stack commented on HBASE-4593:
------------------------------
Good stuff Jon. I started to make a response and then thought, back and forth
on this should probably be out on the dev list? Want to start a thread?
> Design and document the official procedure for posting patches, commits,
> commit messages, etc. to smooth process and make integration with tools easier

> Key: HBASE-4593
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4593
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Jonathan Gray
>
> 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.
