Обсуждение: Commit message / hash in commitfest page.
Hi, Is it possible to have commit-message or at least git hash in commitfest. It will be very easy to track commit against commitfest item. -- Ibrar Ahmed

There would need to a way to enter multiple hashes, because patches often have multiple pieces. But maybe that'd be too much unnecessary burden. I don't remember when I last needed this information. And I'd probably try searching in git log first anyway. regard -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

Yeah, I can't see committers bothering to do this. Including the
discussion thread link in the commit message is already pretty
significant hassle, and something not everybody remembers/bothers with.
But ... maybe it could be automated? A bot looking at the commit log
could probably suck out the thread links and try to match them up
to CF entries. Likely you could get about 90% right even without that,
just by matching the committer's name and the time of commit vs time
of CF entry closure.

The CF app already recognizes (some) attachments in the email thread and makes them directly clickable from the CF entry page. Could it do that with commit hashes, if found in the body of an email thread? Gitweb does that pretty successfully with commits mentioned in commit messages, and github does it automagically for text in issues and so on. Maybe it could even recognize phrases like "commit 01deadbeef closes cf entry" and change the cf entry state, though that'd be gravy. Regards, -Chap

I've been getting a lot of lift out of the git_fdw (well, out of caching it, as performance isn't great yet) for constructing the PostgreSQL Weekly News section on things already committed. About 3.5% of commits (as of last week) on master are within a minute of each other, so grabbing a window two minutes wide would work even if we didn't have the committer's name in hand, it's unlikely to produce more than one result.

Would you even need to match that? It would be easy enough to scan all git commit messages for links to th earchives and populate any CF entry that attaches to that same thread.
Of course, that would be async, so you'd end up closing the CF entry and then have it populate with the git information a bit later (in the simple case where there is just one commit and then it 's done).
Unless we want to go all the way and have said bot actualy close the CF entry. But the question is, do we?

I don't think so. There are too many special cases that would make this
unreliable, like one commit fest thread consisting of multiple patches.
I definitely don't think we should close just because they show up. It would also require a keyword somewhere to indicate that it should be closed. Of course, it can still lead to weird results when the same thread is attached to multiple CF entries etc. So I agree, I don't think we'd want that. Which means we'd have the async/out-of-order issue.

Agreed.

I don't see that as much of a problem. The use-case for these links,
as I understand it, is for retrospective examination of CF data anyway.
The mere fact of closing the CF entry is enough for real-time status.
