Could we do an end run around to fix this? For example add a Release-Notes: this text shows up in the release notes field to the commit. Before release branching, some slightly-fancier variant of "git log | egrep '^Release-Notes:'" gets run to automatically populate the release notes with the appropriate information. Then we don't have to fiddle with the merge algorithm. --scott
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Release_notes_automation Merge drivers aren't nothing exceptionally fancy, and it wouldn't require much fiddling (I've already written the code that does the work and been using it since, it's perfect). But we need someone with access to appropriate parts of the infrastructure to set it up for gerrit/Jenkins, and I don't have it. -- Matma Rex _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
