Support Based-on:
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Hi,
I'm trying out b4 since I have been recently contributing to Linux and am currently using it for QEMU development too. It works well for QEMU as well.
One thing I miss though is the support for Based-on:
, which is a tag to denote the dependency series.
https://qemu.readthedocs.io/en/v8.1.0/devel/submitting-a-patch.html#base-patches-against-current-git-master
It's somewhat specific to QEMU so it may not be in the main scope of this tool, but let me open an issue just for record.
@akihikodaki the current version of b4 adds a base-commit
in the cover-letter, as you can see in this patchset that I sent some time ago.
Maybe it's just a question of wording in this case? @mricon do you think that Based-on
is better than base-commit
, or can it be configured?
