             Summary: git commit to JIRA comment bot: only do once per commit
                 Key: INFRA-11198
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11198
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Git
            Reporter: David Smiley


For an example on what I'm about to describe, see this issue:  SOLR-7968 and in particular the comments published by "ASF subversion and git services" at the end.  I consider the first two comments are useful / good.  The third, however, is a repeat of the first commit -- it has the same git commit hash, the only difference being someone did a merge commit from master to a feature branch.  That is not pertinent to anyone following the issue, and thus the automated comment is distracting noise.  Note that this issue did not occur when we were using subversion.  One wonders... if I were to hypothetically create a branch rooted at some long-ago time and then do a merge from master.  It would be a git/jira comment storm disaster.

Solution?: I think the algorithm in the bot should not redundantly publish commits to JIRA when the commit has already occurred previously (e.g. by date/time perhaps).
