Hehe, I know that I wouldn't want to hand edit every autogenerated patch
|
||
|
|
people throw at me... What about just dropping everything before the
|
||
|
|
last "]" or ":" and putting an autogenerated prefix before it in a
|
||
|
|
pre-commit hook on your side?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That should work most of the time... don't know... maybe other
|
||
|
|
subsystem maintainers have some more suggestions on reducing the
|
||
|
|
workload... this could even be an interesting topic for some summit...
