5 - make commits of logical units
6 - check for unnecessary whitespace with "git diff --check"
8 - do not check in commented out code or unneeded files
9 - the first line of the commit message should be a short
10 description and should skip the full stop
11 - the body should provide a meaningful commit message, which
12 includes motivation for the change, and contrasts
13 its implementation with previous behaviour
14 - the lines of this body should have at most 76 columns
15 - if you want your work included in isl.git, add a
16 "Signed-off-by: Your Name <you@example.com>" line to the
17 commit message (or just use the option "-s" when
18 committing) to confirm that you agree to the Developer's
20 - make sure that you have tests for the bug you are fixing
21 - make sure that the test suite passes after your commit
25 - use "git format-patch -M" to create the patch
26 - do not PGP sign your patch
27 - send a single patch per mail, e.g., using git-send-email(1)
28 - do not attach your patch, but read in the mail
29 body, unless you cannot teach your mailer to
30 leave the formatting of the patch alone.
31 - be careful doing cut & paste into your mailer, not to
33 - provide additional information (which is unsuitable for
34 the commit message) between the "---" and the diffstat
35 - if you change, add, or remove a command line option or
36 make some other user interface change, the associated
37 documentation should be updated as well.
38 - if your name is not writable in ASCII, make sure that
39 you send off a message in the correct encoding.
40 - send the patch to the development mailing list
41 (isl-development@googlegroups.com). If you use
42 git-send-email(1), please test it first by sending email
47 - add the revision number inside square brackets to
48 the subject line (e.g., use --subject-prefix='PATCH v2'
49 when creating the patch)
50 - recall the major issues discovered during the previous
51 review and explain how you addressed them or why you
52 disagree. Do so either in a cover letter, between the
53 "---" and the diffstat or in a separate message.
