Description Julian Ospald 2013-06-27 20:04:22 UTC

This would make it extremely easy to filter commits on your own packages.

Maybe also something like: X-VCS-Herd

and X-VCS-Maintainer-expanded with an (uniq) list of all mentioned package maintainers and the herd members.

Hey idl0r, what context does the hook run as, can we easily access the metadata.xml or package name? Do we just get a commit bundle (and pray we can get a good heuristic to get the package name, eg: by parsing the paths?)

For CVS, yes. I'd like to have that header as well. I'll take a look at it.

Ok, my perl is pretty bad, so I'd prefer someone else take a stab at it ;)
