On Wed, Apr 07, 2004 at 01:59:25PM +0100, I suggested:
Also, [attention asuffield!] I'm sure it can't have escaped people's attention
that it would be nice to have a _standardised_ format or single command that
one could put in an email to describe a merge request. Then the maintainer
could just cut and paste that one line, or even set up a special keybinding in
their mail client, to begin the review process.
OK, I'd like to formalise this. I'm now thinking not one line, but something
of the form:
--- begin tla merge request ---
# comments can go anywhere - although one would hope that the log messages
# would sufficiently describe the change for review purposes.
From-Archive-Name: address@hidden # this is another comment
From-Archive-Location: http://bogus.example.com/foo
From-Revision: tla--me--2.0--patch256
From-Gpg-Key: http://bogus.example.com/gpg-keys/me.gpg
From-Gpg-Key: http://bogus.example.com/gpg-keys/my-friend.gpg
To-Archive-Name: address@hidden
To-Archive-Location: http://bogus.example.com/tla
To-Revision: tla--devo--2.0
# multiple requests can be specifed; if the destination is omitted,
# it is assumed to be the same destination as the previous request.
--- end tla merge request ---
in which the begin and end lines are required and spaces, comments are ignored.
Have I missed anything?
