Having this kind of information in patches if useful. Those of us that maintain their quilt patches on patch-queue branches in git have most of the information already autogenerated by git-format-patch:
$ cat 0004-fix-Debian-specific-path-to-hvm-loader.patch From: Guido Guenther <a...@sigxcpu.org> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:29:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix Debian specific path to hvm loader Closes: #517059 --- src/xen_internal.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/xen_internal.c b/src/xen_internal.c ... So 'Description' (Subject), 'Bug' (Closes), Signed-Of-By, Origin (Author) are already there, some of them already being used by other tools (git-dch). Wouldn't it make sense to choose (or at least allow for) a format that's compatbile with what git-format-patch generates? Cheers, -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
