[JIRA] Tracability from commits
Hi committers, I see that we're now quite good at putting jira references in our first commits. That's good! However sometimes when we make a mistake, or forget something to commit, we don't put again the reference to the JIRA issue in the subsequent commits. It would be better if we were always putting the reference to JIRA. For example, I fixed something related to XWIKI-49 this morning and I used the following format: " XWIKI-49: PDF generation failed with vietnamese characters encoded in UTF-8 * Replaced SNAPSHOT by a timestamped version so that the build can be reproduced and so that we can perform a release of RC2 tomorrow. * Moved out the JTidy <dependency> as it was now wrongly in the "custom xwiki repository" section. * Removed JTidy from our custom XWiki repository " Why do we need this? Because it then makes it very easy later on to find what happened related to a JIRA issue. We had this need for example when we were trying to find out the difference between 2 branches (you may remember, I spent a whole day on that a month ago). Thanks to the Subversion plugin in JIRA we can see what happens related to an issue. For example: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-49? page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.ext.subversion:subversion-commits- tabpanel However that only works if we have put a reference to the jira issue in the commit log. Thanks -Vincent
