[IPython-dev] gitwash: standard commit prefix listing?

[Matthew Brett]

Hi,

Yarik Halchenko just suggested that it might be good to list, in
gitwash, standard commit prefixes, as in, each commit message should
start with one of:

ENH: (enhancement)
BUG: (bugfix)
TST: (test)
DOC:

etc.   These are from the numpy standard prefixes.  As in commit message like:

"""
BUG: Iterator reduction buffering bug when the inner loop is bigger
than the buffer size (ticket #1837)

The symptoms of this bug were showing up only for a greater number of operands
because einsum runs specialized loops for fewer operands and dimensions.
""""

We in nibabel have been using different prefixes, but it's not big
trouble to change in the service of a standard.  Michael - what do you
think?  How about y'all at IPython?

See you,

Matthew
