#8544: Auto-Reference ticket-related branches in tickets ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nomeata | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Trac & Git | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This has two possible implementations (and both are useful and can complement each other): * Add a new field to the description „Related branch“. If for ticket #1234 there is a branch matching `T1234` (usually something like `wip/T1234`), link it from there. * When such a branch is created or deleted, post a message to the ticket. This way subscribers know about a possible ongoing implementation, and can review it. These should link somewhere I believe `https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/log/ghc?rev=<branchname>` is the most useful link. If the link is part of the „branch created“ message, it will become dangling after the branch is closed (presumably because the feature was merged; then the actually commits, if they reference the bug, will be auto-linked). I don’t think this is a problem. But if that is a problem, only put the link in the “Related branches” field, and clear it when the branch is deleted. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8544 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
