2023-01-11doc: contributing: Note '-v REVISION' bug in 'git send-email'....* doc/contributing.texi ("Submitting Patches")["Sending a Patch Series"]: Note that a bug in 'git send-email' means '-v REVISION' (with a space) will not work. Signed-off-by: Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net> (
2023-01-11doc: contributing: Tweak the Commit Policy....Add more examples of when it can be appropriate to push changes without review, as I think this can be appropriate in the case of trivial changes (as mentioned before), but also non-trivial fixes. No longer suggest pushing simple new packages or package upgrades (that don't cause lots of rebuilds) without sending to guix-patches. Now there's some automation for testing changes sent to guix-patches, sending changes there before pushing can mean that more rigorous testing takes place and help speed up substitutes becoming available. This is true, even if no human review takes place. Only suggest waiting one week for review for simpler changes, wait two weeks for more significant changes. Also, reorder some of the information in this section so it's grouped together better. * doc/contributing.texi (Commit Policy): Tweak.
