[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-6548) SVN->JIRA service needs an option to indicate which branch received a commit

["Mark Miller (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6548?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13707014#comment-13707014 ] 

Mark Miller commented on INFRA-6548:
------------------------------------

Our old tagged used git - and that info was easy to get. Our second solution used svnpubsub, same as the apache infra script - and that info was still easy to get. So I don't buy the hard to do with svn comment.

> On the Lucene-Solr project, we had a homegrown solution thanks to [~markrmiller@gmail.com] for updating JIRA issues when there is a commit on SVN.  We have recently switched to the official "ASF subversion and git services" solution.  This won't be news to you, but here is a recent example of what it adds to an issue:
> {noformat}
> Commit 1502508 from [~romseygeek]
> [ https://svn.apache.org/r1502508 ]
> SOLR-4914: Close input streams as well
> {noformat}
> This is helpful, except that typically there will be two or three commits for an issue in quick succession - one to trunk, one to the stable branch (currently branch_4x) and if a release is pending, one to the release branch (currently lucene_solr_4_4), and we can't tell by looking at the comments which branch was updated by which commits.  If all you have access to at a given moment is the email from JIRA, the info isn't available until later.
> I understand from danielsh on #asfinfra that this information is not trivial to extract from SVN.  The homegrown solution that we were running did provide it, but it was using a git mirror, not the official apache SVN.
