X-Git-Url: http://plrg.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2b5899e7fc582a8adf16903c30be02ab947510c6;p=oota-llvm.git Add a missing piece of existing practice to the developer policy. This may need further refinement, but I think is roughly correct. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@237405 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8 --- diff --git a/docs/DeveloperPolicy.rst b/docs/DeveloperPolicy.rst index a07b5fab217..10c64a548a5 100644 --- a/docs/DeveloperPolicy.rst +++ b/docs/DeveloperPolicy.rst @@ -324,6 +324,11 @@ Below are some guidelines about the format of the message itself: * Text formatting and spelling should follow the same rules as documentation and in-code comments, ex. capitalization, full stop, etc. +* If the commit is a bug fix on top of another recently committed patch, or a +revert or reapply of a patch, include the svn revision number of the prior +related commit.
