We appreciate everyone’s feedback on transitioning away from Subversion to Git, I’ll be releasing an expected timeline of up-coming changes in the next week before the contributors meeting.
In the mean time, we’re preparing on adding identifiers to new commit messages, that work is tracked in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218407. At the moment, we’re likely going to be appending the identifiers to commit messages (as the current change proposes), but I wanted to provide a chance for folks to object to this change before it becomes canonical.
I'm a bit confused here. It looks like the patch only affects commits made via webkit-patch. Given there are a lot of people who don't use webkit-patch land, I'm not certain this strategy is sound even in the short term. Furthermore, the proposed patch seems to have a race condition when multiple commits are made concurrency? Why don't we do this in post commit hook instead? - R. Niwa
