Dear GCC devs,
Please do *not* use the full logs of the merged revisions as the
commit message of a merge. Apart from making the output of svn log
useless, commits messages are parsed are tracked for PR numbers, the
commit message is added to the bugzilla page of the PR and people
subscribed to the relevant PR in bugzilla are notified of the commit.
Therefore a single merge of many revisions would result in a flood of
mails sent for no good reason and they make a mess of the bugzilla
page.
I am sure many of you have been hit by this recently. Please, let's
try to avoid this.
Thanks,
Manuel.
