Re: [jdt-dev] Bugzilla vs. Gerrit
|
I *never* recommend Eric (or anyone else) to provide Gerrits *instead* of reporting bugs.
I prefer to have bugs reported first, not only in JDT project.
Independently to this, I also prefer that non trivial commits (with or without bug) have an appropriate commit message describing the fix.
