Misty Stanley-Jones updated HBASE-12256: ---------------------------------------- Attachment: HBASE-12256.patch > Update patch submission guidelines to call out binary file support > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-12256 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12256 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Reporter: Sean Busbey > Assignee: Misty Stanley-Jones > Priority: Minor > Labels: git > Attachments: HBASE-12256.patch > > > Our guidelines should call out where users need to take special care if they > have binary files in their diff. (binary files here means anything {{file}} > detects as "data") > By default {{git diff}} won't include binary files, instead it'll just say > something like "binary files differ". That'll render the patch useless. > * Update reasons to favor format-patch to include "can handle binary files > changing by default". > * Add a note on {{git diff}} (or change the default args) to use {{--binary}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
