Comment: subversion -> git

...

These four tools, mailing lists and email, JIRA, Wikis, and Subversion Git together provide the community ways to coordinate their actions and conversations. As a developer you will need to understand each of these tools and how you will use them in the development process.

...

As a developer you will want to keep up with the current state of development on the project and this is where the dev list comes in. The dev list is where JIRA messages will be delivered every time a JIRA request is updated. By following this list you will see discussions between other developers about various bugs and feature requests. You may also see an information voting occuring. If you feel you can contribute to one of the discussions, by all means add your input. You will also want to keep up to date on the commits list to see what code has been committed to the subversion git repository and what updates have been made to the wiki.

  • reformat code unrelated to the bug being fixed: formatting changes should be separate patches/commits.
  • comment out code that is now obsolete: just remove it.
  • insert comments around each change, marking the change: folks can use subversion git to figure out what's changed and by whom.
  • make things public which are not required by end users.
