Currently, in hg. git has a mechanism for adding notes which are automatically displayed along with the original commit message, and bzr is considering introducing such a mechanism. I'm not familiar with the hg dev process (I use hg a lot, but so far it Just Works for me :), but I would imagine they will move in that direction as well. > but it would be socially permissible to fix spelling mistakes. The notes mechanism is not useful for fixing spelling mistakes unless they make the message unintelligible, but I suppose it might expand the range of socially permissible additions. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
