Description Jonathan Bedard 2020-10-30 16:30:24 PDT
We need to append the identifier to the commit message so that identifiers are present in places which do not natively support them.

I think we probably want to override 'trunk' and make it 'main' to prepare for our new Git-only world, I'm also not certain if we want this at the beginning or end of the commit message. I did the end of the commit message (like git-svn and Chromium do), but that is less accessible than making it the 2nd line of the commit message.

The worst part about all of this is that once we make this decision, we really don't want to back-track on it.

Probably need to do this from commit-log-editor, but I'm still not entirely sure how this script works, because it requires being passed a ChangeLog to function.

Was really trying to avoid doing this server-side, because I'm pretty sure we will end up needing to it after the commit has already happened (ie, edit the changelog after a commit has occurred)

I'm not super excited about doing editing commit messages right after the commit has happened, but that might be the best solution.
