But every change in WebKit comes with a Bugzilla bug.
Certainly most do, but some counterexamples:
* Unreviewed build fixes sometimes do not reference a bug * When fixing a new compiler warning or build failure, I often reference the bug that introduced the problem, rather than reporting a new one just to have a new hyperlink for the commit message * We probably don't need a bug report for stuff like "update my email address in contributors.json" or "fix typo in comment”
Yes, this is why I stated this in the original message:
Note that the line may be simply be deleted when it doesn’t apply (such as gardening, a build fix, etc.).
I don’t think it’s too burdensome to delete a couple lines of text for the above kinds of fixes if the result is better commit messages overall. Dave
