             Summary: reviewboard's GUESS_FIELDS setting leads to redundant 
information in commit messages
                 Key: MESOS-7979
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7979
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Benjamin Bannier
            Priority: Minor


Reviewboard can be set up to automatically guess a patch's summary and 
description when {{GUESS_FIELDS}} is set. For commits that have no dedicated 
description, it uses the commit summary as description as well. This leads to 
commits with redundant commit messages, e.g.,

{code}
Frobnicate to foobarizer.

Frobnicate to foobarizer.

Review: https://reviews.apache.org/r/1234567890
{code}

When applying this commit with e.g., {{apply_reviews.py}} the redundant body is 
faithfully copied, but we should consider updating it to instead remove the 
redundant information automatically leading to e.g.,

{code}
Frobnicate to foobarizer.
