[birt-pmc] Links between git commit messages and bugzilla

A small suggestion when making git commit messages – if you refer to Eclipse Bugzilla entries by prefixing the numbers with “bug “ (like “bug 408062”) the public cgit web interface (https://git.eclipse.org/c/birt/org.eclipse.birt.git ) will automatically link back to the relevant bugzilla entry. This would be nice to do, as it helps everyone keep track of changes to the code.

 

There was one recent commit message that I was confused by:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/birt/org.eclipse.birt.git/commit/?h=Kepler&id=bd4fba2e837ad2f5a7f77f6ff334092217d1f454

had the commit message: “bz 446414” which seems like it should refer to a bugzilla entry, but doesn’t match any one that actually exists. If someone could clarify which bug entry that was intended to fix, that would be helpful.

 

Also, since https://git.eclipse.org/c/birt/org.eclipse.birt.git/commit/?h=Kepler&id=9fe6e9b1a4ff97f111b009d12761d6c7adc942bb is now visible, the corresponding bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=408122 should probably be also made publically viewable.

 

Thanks again for getting the git syncing working!
