I wonder if it's really worth having such a visually distinctive style
for tagging things that fix bugzilla entries. I've been just writing
out in English the bug information -- eg a recent changelog contains
This patch fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571>,
an NFS/RDMA server crash.
I could see adding a tag along the lines of tested-by, reported-by,
reviewed-by, etc. Maybe something like
Closes-bug: <URL>
so the above language would become
Closes-bug: https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571
And then "git log|grep 'Closes-bug:'" or "git log|grep '<bug URL>'"
becomes interesting...
> [ Impact: fix user-triggerable oops ]
This I think gets close to the never-ending argument about tagging
"security" bugs. It might not be obvious immediately that a given
change fixes a user-triggerable oops and grepping the log for commits
that claim to fix a certain type of problem is quite likely to miss some
such fixes.
In the case where I know that a commit *does* fix a user-triggerable
oops, I try to note it in the changelog by saying, "This fixes an oops
that can be triggered by a user passing in garbage input xyz..." but I'm
not sure if we want to put that in a standardized greppable form.
- R.
