[PATCH 0/5] allow non-trailers and multiple-line trailers

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

 



In [1], Junio explained a possible redesign of trailer support in
interpret-trailers and cherry-pick, something along these lines:

 1. Support non-trailers and multi-line trailers in interpret-trailers
 2. Create a helper function so that the new interpretation can be used
    elsewhere (e.g. in sequencer)
 3. Modify "Signed-off-by" and "(cherry picked by" to use the helper
    function

My current plans for step 1 and step 2 require relatively significant
refactoring in trailer.c, so I thought that I should send out a patch
set covering only step 1 first for discussion, before continuing with my
work on top of this patch set.

Support for steps 2 and 3, including my original use case of being
looser in the definition of a trailer when invoking "cherry-pick -x"
(and thus suppressing the insertion of a newline) will come in a
subsequent patch set.
