[GSoC][RFC PATCH 0/6] Add --subject-extra-prefix flag to format-patch

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

 



Hi!

This is a "scratch-my-own-itch" patch, adding a new flag to format-patch. This
flag allows the user add an extra prefix to the subject, placed before the
actual prefix, like the "[GSoC]" in the subject of this patchset.

This is specially targeted for new users or developers from mentoring projects
like GSoC or Outreachy. Currently, if we want to add to the subject something
like "[Newbie]", "[GSoC]" or "[Outreachy]", we need to perform some hacks like
passing --subject-prefix="GSoC][PATCH" or changing it manually in the patch
content. 

With this new flag, this patchset could be created by using:

`git format-patch -6 --subject-extra-prefix="GSoC" --rfc --to="..."`

This would be only a feature request but I thought it would be better to 
present a first solution, so I'm sending my implementation as a RFC patchset.

Thanks!
