I guess in that scenario my preference would be to amend the cherry-picked commit's message to include why it was cherry-picked. The alternative in your case (leaving it as-is, with an issue number) implies that the entire commit add

Instead of squashing everything into a single master commit for each bugfix (which I've seen teams do), I use a merge commit to signify a set of commits that comprise a single feature or fix. (`git merge --no-ff`) I make use of squas

You're right -- the diff answers the what , so being able to answer the why concisely is what makes a good commit message. Ticket numbers are important context, but unless it is a one-off commit you can instead put that info in the

If you're relying on specific version releases of the libraries, you'll always be vendoring the same files (and if not the deploy should fail). If you are relying on a non-versioned release from a git repo, you can point to a part

You claim that it's important to guarantee, with 100% certainty, that the version of a library you're getting in production is the one you expect. But then you say it's not necessary to read through the entire diff if you che

Why exactly should you be willing to commit them? There are certainly ways to lock your versions while still vendoring the files on deploy.

It's not that hard, but do it 50 times, manually managing a complex dependency tree (which jQuery version does this thing need again?), and you'll realize how nice it would be to have a package manager for your client-side depende

I can't stand the notification center. Even in its current form it always seems overcrowded with stuff I don't care about. Opening up the API for any app to eat up even more real estate would, in my opinion, be extremely misguided

As someone who doesn't live with dogs, the smell of a home with dogs (or cats, for that matter) is, in most cases, immediately apparent to me. If you're not habitualized to the smell, it does actually stink. Not terribly, but it&#

It's no surprise that, when left unchecked, teenagers (whose brains actually lack some capacity for empathy) would generate extremely un-empathetic content. And it is certainly not limited to children -- adults can be just as bad or wo

You can also do this with pandoc, albeit without the pretty themes (you'll have to add your own CSS). The advantage in using pandoc is that it exports to S5, DZSlides, Slidy, Slideous, or reveal.js. Of course, if you're not intere

I know "progressive enhancement" is a little passé at this point (at least as far as the HN crowd seems concerned), but the flash of unstyled content (before javascript loads) is really ugly. (Try disabling javascript and see how

I wonder how this will work. Once out of beta, will it be a default option, or will it require extra steps for both the developer and the end-user? And will we be able to operate primarily in Bitcoin end-to-end, or will everything be conver

This assumes that MyCoolConcern doesn't depend on too many things in your main model class or in (god forbid) other concerns that you've included in that model. Or, perhaps, to turn this argument around, it's better to say it

That is how I read these signals, and sometimes it was true. I'd study a bit more, meet with the class's TA or a university-provided tutor to go over the material, and I'd be fine. But even then, in many cases, the professor
