|
r5435 | * master - is automatically mirrored to svn trunk. | ||

r4159 | * [0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0,...]-stable - is automatically mirrored to svn release branches. DO NOT COMMIT OR MERGE INTO THIS BRANCH | ||
== Branch naming standards | ||||
Redmine has two kinds of development: | ||||
* bug fixes | ||||
* new feature development | ||||
Both bug fixes and new feature development should be done in a branch named after the issue number on Redmine.org. So if you are fixing Issue #6244 your branch should be named: | ||||
* 6244 | ||||
* 6244-sort-people-by-display-name (optional description) | ||||
* issue/6244 (optional "issue" prefix) | ||||
* issue/6244-sort-people-by-display-name (optional prefix and description) | ||||
That way when the branch is merged into the Redmine core, the correct issue can be updated. | ||||
Longer term feature development might require multiple branches. Just your best judgment and try to keep the issue id in the name. | ||||
If you don't have an issue for your patch, create an issue on redmine.org and say it's a placeholder issue for your work. Better yet, add a brief overview of what you are working on to the issue and you might get some help with it. | ||||
== Coding Standards | ||||
Follow the coding standards on the Redmine wiki: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Coding_Standards#Commits. Make sure you commit logs conform to the standards, otherwise someone else will have to rewrite them for you and you might lose attribution during the conversion to svn. | ||||
