> I have been building a tool (currently called reposync) to help me keep the internal FB hbase-92-based branch up-to-date with the public branches.
> Various inconsistencies in our process has made it difficult to automate a lot of this stuff.
> I'd like to work with everyone to come up with the official best practices and stick to it.
> I welcome all suggestions.  Among some of the things I'd like to nail down:
> - Commit message format
> - Best practice and commit message format for multiple commits
> - Multiple commits per jira vs. jira per commit, what are the exceptions and when
> - Affects vs. Fix versions
> - Potential usage of [tags] in commit messages for things like book, scripts, shell... maybe even whatever is in the components field?
> - Increased usage of JIRA tags or labels to mark exactly which repos a JIRA has been committed to (potentially even internal repos?  ways for a tool to keep track in JIRA?)
> We also need to be more strict about some things if we want to follow Apache guidelines.  For example, all final versions of a patch must be attached to JIRA so that the author properly assigns it to Apache.
