Why is this new test important?

Please disregard this line. It is an unfortunate and most embarrassing
artifact of messed up git send-email and stmp forwarding over ssh. Which
hopefully have been sorted so it doesn't happen next time. It obviously
shouldn't be part of the commit massage in any of the patches in the
series.

The test that checks that 'git log --pretty=format:%(trailers)' shows
the output in the form "Closes: 1234" even if input was "Closes #1234"
is interesting both because it checks that this behavior is kept intact
in the patches later in the series which modifies handling of separator
and because it is a behavior that can be surprising and not well defined
in documentation and those tend to be the ones that are easiest to
accidentally break. Maybe the addition of the test should come later in
the series where the changes that potentially could break it happen.


It seems like you stopped reviewing my patch series at patch 06/21. That
is IMHO just before it starts to get interesting :)  Now I don't know if
rest of it was rubbish or uninteresting or just there was no time to
look at it.

I've updated according to the suggestions, but not sure if I should
repost the series with just such small adjustments.

Ok.

Ok, I would suggest adding some of the above in the commit message of
the next version of the patch.

Maybe. I found the series a bit confusing because it seemed to me that
the cover letter wasn't explaining very well what it does. I just
commented on the cover letter. Hopefully in the next version it will
be better, and it will then be easier to see if patches should be
moved around.

It was a combination of not much time and the cover letter not making
it easy to understand the whole series. I was hoping that the next
version would have more explanations in the cover letter and also in
some commit messages.

I think it's worth reposting with an improved cover letter and other
small adjustments.

Thanks,
Christian.

That makes sense, but should be in the commit message.

I also found the expected output confusing. I thought at first we were
mis-parsing to include part of the subject in the trailer, but it is
just that we put "%s" into the format argument.

Reviewing this has been on my todo list, but I'd just as soon do it from
your latest version. Since it has been a while, it may make sense to
just repost with the fixes, and note in the cover letter that it didn't
get a lot of review yet.
