[GSoC] GIT commit messages

Hi,

I'm seeing the first commit to soc-2009-* branches. According to http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp/, two branches have been added already, and at least one other is in preparation.

However, please make your commit messages meaningful. I've seen some commits that do only use a rather obscure version number.

The commit messages should use a format like

---

[tag] Short explanation of the commit

Longer explanation explaining exactly what's changed, whether any external or private interfaces changed, what bugs were fixed (with bug tracker reference if applicable) and so forth. Be concise but not too brief.

---

Talk to your mentors about the optional tags, they might want you to use special ones depending on what the commit covers.

P.S. Keep in mind that midterm sruveys do start next week.

Regards, Michael

Please do consider that the other 4 GSoC projects are for GEGL and should appear here: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gegl/. For now, Martin has created the GEGL+GPU branch as I have yet to receive my push access approval for gnome git. I suspect that the other 3 students are in a similar state. There are about more than a dozen commits already in my branch.

Best wishes, Daerd

(P.S. My branch can be accessed here: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gegl/log/?h=gsoc2009-gpu. Note that the branch is in a very rudimentary state, which means that it is untested and might eat your pets. It, however, shows a great deal of what I'm currently up to in an architectural/prototypical level.)
