|

16) Sending "git pull" requests (from Linus emails)
|
||||
|
||||
Please write the git repo address and branch name alone on the same line
|
||||
so that I can't even by mistake pull from the wrong branch, and so
|
||||
that a triple-click just selects the whole thing.
|
||||
|
||||
So the proper format is something along the lines of:
|
||||
|
||||
"Please pull from
|
||||
|
||||
git://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/jdelvare-2.6 i2c-for-linus
|
||||
|
||||
to get these changes:"
|
||||
|
||||
so that I don't have to hunt-and-peck for the address and inevitably
|
||||
get it wrong (actually, I've only gotten it wrong a few times, and
|
||||
checking against the diffstat tells me when I get it wrong, but I'm
|
||||
just a lot more comfortable when I don't have to "look for" the right
|
||||
thing to pull, and double-check that I have the right branch-name).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Please use "git diff -M --stat --summary" to generate the diffstat:
|
||||
the -M enables rename detection, and the summary enables a summary of
|
||||
new/deleted or renamed files.
|
||||
|
||||
With rename detection, the statistics are rather different [...]
|
||||
because git will notice that a fair number of the changes are renames.
