git workflow and http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Submitting_Xen_Project_Patches

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk]

Hey,

I wanted to ask what folks would think of expanding the Wiki to include (making it a diff
for simpler) this change. With my giant 30 set of patches that not only CC-ed
xen-devel twice but had some patches CC some maintainers but not others - I figured
it may be good to describe this in the Wiki:

andrewcoop@andrewcoop:/local/xen.git/xen$ dig -t ANY doe.com

I would use example.com instead.

Otherwise, looks good to me.

I'm not a maintainer/committer myself, but since we are spelling this
out, I think maintainers/committers prefer that the "Cc:" tags are
placed after a "---".

I wouldn't encourage people to put this in their global gitconfig
file.

It either needs to be in project local gitconfig .git/config or be
spelled out explicitly in command line.

While I'm one of those who indeed does, I recall there having been
different views (derived from there being different view on whether
it is a good idea to retain these Cc-s in what gets committed).
