* \page CommitMessages Guidelines for Commit Messages
*
*
*
* \section CommitMsgFormatting Commit Message Formatting
*
* The following illustrates the basic outline for commit messages:
*
* \verbatim
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
* \endverbatim
*
* Some commit history viewers treat the first line of commit messages as the
* summary for the commit. So, an effort should be made to format our commit
* messages in that fashion. The verbose description may contain multiple
* paragraphs, itemized lists, etc. Always end the first sentence (and any
* subsequent sentences) with punctuation.
*
* Commit messages should be wrapped at 80 %columns.
*
* \note For trivial commits, such as "fix the build", or "fix spelling mistake",
* the verbose description may not be necessary.
*
*
*
* \section CommitMsgTags Special Tags for Commit Messages
*
* \subsection MantisTags Mantis (https://issues.asterisk.org/)
*
* To have a commit noted in an issue, use a tag of the form:
* \arg (issue #1234)
*
* To have a commit automatically close an issue, use a tag of the form:
* \arg (closes issue #1234)
*
* When making a commit for a mantis issue, it is easiest to use the
* provided commit %message template functionality. It will format the
* special tags appropriately, and will also include information about who
* reported the issue, which patches are being applied, and who did testing.
*
* Assuming that you have bug marshal access (and if you have commit access,
* it is pretty safe to assume that you do), you will find the commit %message
* template section directly below the issue details section and above the
* issue relationships section. You will have to click the '+' next to
* "Commit message template" to make the contents of the section visible.
*
* Here is an example of what the template will generate for you:
*
* \verbatim
* (closes issue #1234)
* Reported by: SomeGuy
* Patches:
* fix_bug_1234.diff uploaded by SomeDeveloper (license 5678)
* \endverbatim
*
* If the patch being committed was written by the person doing the commit,
* and is not available to reference as an upload to the issue, there is no
* need to include something like "fixed by me", as that will be the default
* assumption when a specific patch is not referenced.
*
* \subsection ReviewBoardTags Review Board (https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/)
*
* To have a commit set a review request as submitted, include the full URL
* to the review request. For example:
* \arg Review: %https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/95/
*
* \note The trailing slash in the review URL is required.
*
*
*
* \section CommitMsgSvnmerge Commit Messages with svnmerge
*
* When using the svnmerge tool for merging changes between branches, use the
* commit %message generated by svnmerge. The '-f' option to svnmerge allows
* you to specify a file for svnmerge to write out a commit %message to. The
* '-F' option to svn commit allows you to specify a file that contains the
* commit %message.
*
* If you are using the expect script wrappers for svnmerge from repotools,
* a commit %message is automatically placed in the file '../merge.msg'.
*
* For more detailed information about working with branches and merging,
* see the following page on %asterisk.org:
* \arg https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Subversion+Usage
