Question

Adobe SVN email format change

All,

We will be making a change to the way the subject line will read in the emails that are received from the Adobe Open Source Subversion commits. The hope is for the new format to avoid any further confusion, alarm  and in some cases screw-ups.  The change
should also aid in making email rules easier to define.  The new subject line will be prefixed as follows:

 

[ svn:PRODUCT ABBREVIATION-BRANCH NAME ] REVISION NUMBER: THE SUBJECT LINE

 

Product Abbreviations:

BlazeDS – bz

Flex – fx

 

Subject line example:

For a commit to Flex in the trunk:  [svn:fx-trunk] 9999: fixed some stuff

 

If you have your email rules setup to look for “[svn]” in the subject, I apologize for having you to recreate your email rules, but we think this change will make managing SVN mail better in the future.

 

This change will be taking place immediately.

 

Thanks,

Jim Murphy

Flex Release Engineer

This is great. It will totally help clear up what commits happen in flex trunk vs the i10/11 branches.

Great solution!

No problem, the new way is much better in my opinion.
