2009-12-31SubmittingPatches: hints to know the status of a submitted patch.Matthieu Moy
"What happened to my patch" is pretty much a FAQ on the Git mailing list, it deserves a few paragraphs in SubmittingPatches... Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-28SubmittingPatches: itemize and reflect upon well written changesSam Vilain
The SubmittingPatches file was trimmed down from a somewhat overwhelming set of requirements from the Linux Kernel equivalent; however perhaps a little of it can be returned without making the text too long. Signed-off-by: Sam Vilain <sam@vilain.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-12-20SubmittingPatches: mention the usage of real name in Signed-off-by: linesMiklos Vajna
Especially with something that is supposed to hopefully have some legal value down the line if somebody starts making noises, it really would be nice to have a real person to associate things with. Suggest this in the SubmittingPatches document. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-11-02add instructions on how to send patches to the mailing list with GmailTom Preston-Werner
Gmail is one of the most popular email providers in the world. Now that Gmail supports IMAP, sending properly formatted patches via `git imap-send` is trivial. This section in SubmittingPatches explains how to do so. Signed-off-by: Tom Preston-Werner <tom@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-07-22Rename .git/rebase to .git/rebase-applyJohannes Schindelin
With git-am, it sounds awkward to have the patches in ".git/rebase/", but for technical reasons, we have to keep the same directory name for git-am and git-rebase. ".git/rebase-apply" seems to be a good compromise. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-16Rename ".dotest/" to ".git/rebase" and ".dotest-merge" to "rebase-merge"Johannes Schindelin
Since the files generated and used during a rebase are never to be tracked, they should live in $GIT_DIR. While at it, avoid the rather meaningless term "dotest" to "rebase", and unhide ".dotest-merge". This was wished for on the mailing list, but so far unimplemented. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-20Add a helper script to send patches with Mozilla ThunderbirdLukas Sandström

2008-02-05Documentation/SubmittingPatches: What's Acked-by and Tested-by?Junio C Hamano
We used to talk about "internal company procedures", but this document is about submitting patches to the git mailing list. More useful information is when to say Acked-by: and Tested-by:. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-02-05Documentation/SubmittingPatches: discuss first then submitJunio C Hamano
This is something I've had in mind for some time. I get enough e-mails as-is, and I suspect the workflow to get list members involved would work better if we get the discussion concluded on the list first before patches hit my tree (even 'next'). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-07War on whitespaceJunio C Hamano
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-03-05Begin SubmittingPatches with a check listJohannes Schindelin
It seems that some people prefer a short list to a long text. But even for the latter group, a quick reminder list is useful. So, add a check list to Documentation/SubmittingPatches of what to do to get your patch accepted.
