Auto-Reference ticket-related branches in tickets
This has two possible implementations (and both are useful and can complement each other):
- Add a new field to the description „Related branch“. If for ticket #1234 (closed) there is a branch matching
T1234
(usually something likewip/T1234
), link it from there. - When such a branch is created or deleted, post a message to the ticket. This way subscribers know about a possible ongoing implementation, and can review it.
These should link somewhere I believe https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/log/ghc?rev=<branchname>
is the most useful link.
If the link is part of the „branch created“ message, it will become dangling after the branch is closed (presumably because the feature was merged; then the actually commits, if they reference the bug, will be auto-linked). I don’t think this is a problem. But if that is a problem, only put the link in the “Related branches” field, and clear it when the branch is deleted.
