Just wondering, has there been any looking into whether the git-notes
concept can track rebases?
Reading over what git-notes is leads me to think it could be a good
mechanism for the distributed bug-tracking idea I had some time ago.
The only gotcha I see is that there would have to be some reverse
mapping / fast lookup to track the commit objects that given notes are
attached to.... and to facilitate individual assignment... notes
applied to notes.
Example structure:
Commits A B C D
Notes BUG
Notes nA nC == bug notes
A <- nA
|\
B C <- nC
|/
D
nA <- BUG
nB <- BUG
Operations for bug-tracking:
1) List all 'BUG'-type items that would refer to individual notes
2) List 'BUG' items reachable from a point
Perhaps with criterion that a certain 'bug note' attribute is not
set...
or that a 'BUG_CLOSED' note is not attached to the given 'bug note'
... this seems to be somewhat of an extreme abuse of the notes
system... but I could imagine it may have uses outside...
