If you would like to record which commit introduced a bug being fixed,
|
||||
you may do that with a “Fixes” header. This assists in determining
|
||||
which OVS releases have the bug, so the patch can be applied to all
|
||||
affected versions. The easiest way to generate the header in the
|
||||
proper format is with this git command:
|
||||
|
||||
git log -1 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" --abbrev=12 COMMIT_REF
