Tool that updates git-notes for backports
Added by Loïc Dachary almost 9 years ago.
Updated over 8 years ago.
Description
The bot would create a json structure in the git notes of the ceph repository to be the authoritative state of the backport for a given commit. It would cross reference issues and pull requests. It should be the only central piece of information a script or a developer needs to find all there is to know regarding the backport history of a given commit.

A first step could be a script that:
- look for all commit with a Backport: field
- look for an issue in the commit message
- add { "issue": "http....", "backports": ["firefly","hammer"] } in the git notes of the commit, using the field from the issue
The script could list all commit that have no associated issue, as a link to the github commit.
After manually figuring out which issue it belongs to, the script would allow manual update of the json with something like
backportnotes --commit SHA --issue 2039
- Subject changed from bot that updates git-notes for backports to Tool that updates git-notes for backports
The tool would need to operate on a single mirror of ceph.git, all members of the backports team would need to have write access to that repo, and whether the git notes from the mirror would ever be synced to ceph.git (and how that would be done) remains an open question.
