Subject: Best practices/conventions for tags and references in commit message
Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 13:26:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201405271326.36031.thomas@koch.ro> (raw)

Hi,

different projects or tools have conventions to include machine parsable 
information in commit messages, e.g.:

Closes: #42
Thanks: my mother, my wife
Git-Dch: Ignore
Commit-Id: 50M3R34LLYR4ND0MB1TSANDNUMB3R5

(see thread: "RFE: support change-id generation natively" for Commit-Id)
("Git-Dch: Ignore" ecludes the commit from the changelog)

Are you aware of any convention or best practices for such tags that are used 
in more than one project? Are there more tags like these?

Maybe it would also be helpful to have some more plumbing support from Git for 
such tags. But I've not yet thought enough about this.

Best regards, Thomas Koch
