New Proposal (simple) for Metadata in Git Commits: git-meta

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I had this idea a day or so again, and have written a simple implementation to storing some semi-structured data in a git commit message. This means that it's much easier for data to be found and scraped from a certain commit, for instance what issue numbers commits refer to or close.

The entirety of the idea is expressed here: http://lenary.github.com/hackery/2009/12/git-meta/

I have so far built an implementation of a way to get the data out of a commit. I am still investigating how to get this info into the commit message before the git-commit command so that it doesn't have to be entirely hand-written.

I was just looking for feedback and to see whether the mailing list thinks this is a good idea or not? Any help would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Sam
