I really appreciate -your help, I just want to review these fixes before applying. - -If you are a "build sheriff", feel free to commit fixes for build and -configure (please, send me an e-mail with the patch you have applied). - -When committing to the pluma git repository make sure to include a -meaningful commit message. Changes without a sufficient commit message -will be reverted. Commit messages should have the following format: - -=== begin example commit === -Short explanation of the commit - -Longer explanation explaining exactly what's changed, whether any -external or private interfaces changed, what bugs were fixed (with bug -tracker reference if applicable) and so forth. Be concise but not too brief. -=== end example commit === - - - Always add a brief description of the commit to the _first_ line of - the commit and terminate by two newlines (it will work without the - second newline, but that is not nice for the interfaces). - - - First line (the brief description) must only be one sentence and - should start with a capital letter unless it starts with a lowercase - symbol or identifier. Don't use a trailing period either. Don't exceed - 72 characters. - - - The main description (the body) is normal prose and should use normal - punctuation and capital letters where appropriate. Normally, for patches - sent to a mailing list it's copied from there. - - - When committing code on behalf of others use the --author option, e.g. - git commit -a --author "Joe Coder <[email protected]>" and --signoff. - - -Thanks, - - The pluma team. |
