| == Contributing changes to Mercurial == Matt is trying to streamline his fairly complex process of merging ["Patch"]es from the MailingList. So please try to do the following: * Use {{{hg export}}} or the {{{patchbomb}}} extension where possible. * This will get your name in the changelog without any extra editing on his part. * Make sure your description is complete. * If using {{{hg export}}}, he wants the description ''in the exported patch''. * Make sure your description starts with a reasonable one-line summary. * Send only one patch per email, as Matt's tools and processes assume this. Some other useful guidelines: * In general, think of ["Mercurial"] as following a process similar to KernelPractice. * ["Serve"] a ["Repository"] over HTTP that contains your changes, so Matt only needs to ["Pull"] from it if he likes the changes. * Send your changes as ["Patch"]es to the MailingList anyway, so other people on the mailing list can review what you're doing. * If you are emailing a ["Patch"] directly to Matt, copy the MailingList. * Make sure the ["Patch"]es you send apply cleanly against the current ["Tip"]. * Inline ["Patch"]es are preferable to MIME-attached copies of ["Patch"]es, because many mailers cannot quote attachments. Inline patches are thus easier to review. Be warned that many mailers will by default screw up the white space of inline ["Patch"]es, so they will not apply cleanly. This is usually easy to work around, for example by using the {{{patchbomb}}} extension. * Each ["Patch"] should make sense in and of itself, and not contain pieces of unrelated stuff that you noticed and decided to fix up. * Follow the prevailing coding style in the code you're modifying, not what you think it ''ought'' to be. * Patches should not contain tab characters. * Patches should not contain trailing white space. * If you are cleaning up white space, do it in a self-contained patch that contains no functional changes. |
