[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-12249) Script to help you adhere to the patch-naming guidelines

Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-12249:
---------------------------------------

I'd personally much rather have git-format-patch though.  That way I can give a user credit for their commit.

> I wrote a script to help me name patches correctly, and it may be helpful to others. You use it from the branch where you are working, and it looks in your patches directory to see if other versions of the patch exist, and appends -v<latest+1> if so. If you specify -a, it creates an addendum patch, by appending -v<latest>-addendum. 
> In summary, it makes patches named like:
> HBASE-XXXX.patch
> HBASE-XXXX-vY.patch
> HBASE-XXXX-addendum.patch
> HBASE-XXXX-vY-addendum.patch
> The patch uses git diff, and does not use --no-prefix. It does not use git format-patch because it's too hard to programmatically squash commits and reword commit messages.
