Regards, Greg Begin forwarded message: Subject: [eclipse-dev] Handling contributions with Git
Date: January 19, 2012 11:10:31 AM EST
I just wanted to remind everybody that
we should no longer use the iplog+ flag on bugs with contributions that
were made via Git. We now track author information for contributions via
Git. When accepting a third party patch, pull request, etc, you should
set the Git commit's "Author" field to the contributor's name/email
to track attribution. If you cherry-picked their commit from another repository
this should be set already, but just double-check it as you are committing.
To be clear, no bugzilla flag is needed anymore at all for contributions
now that we are using Git (as long as the author field was set correctly).
Contributors still need to provide the blurb that they wrote all the code
themselves and have the right to contribute it to Eclipse.
We should of course leave the iplog+
flag in place on old bugs that tracked contributions to CVS prior to our
move to Git. I will be fixing up some bugzillas that incorrectly have the
flag, so just ignore these if you see them go by.
For complete details, here is the Foundation
document on handling contributions when using Git:
