[Ksummit-discuss] [TOPIC] Metadata addendum to git commit

[Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>]

I think this has been already raised a few times, but I'm still
dreaming one thing in our git management: having some metadata
collection / link for each commit.

I don't mean for a thing like post-commit sign-off, but rather for
tracking the information that has been revealed after commit, e.g. a
regression the commit causes, the later fix commit, or a bugzilla or
ML link for the further discussion or debugging session.  The
regression markers would be especially helpful to avoid a pitfall
through performing bisection.

IMO, it would be convenient if such information can be embedded in the
published git tree, something like (infamous) git-notes.  But, I'd
like to hear any other options as well.


thanks,

Takashi
