See for example [1]. Although I'm not aware of any standard for naming this footer. In terms of recording the URL and other data, I think you'd want a dotfile in the repository (perhaps .bugzilla). This shoudld probably be in the gitconfig format, like .gitmodules. I think "all" it needs is to draw up a spec for the names of keys and format of their values, along with the format of footer(s) identifying issues associated with a commit and to persuade UI developers to support it... ;-) [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4a88f73f14f6d6c94616538427e1235a6d0a5885 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
