Please set a 'commit message' on branches you propose for merging.

[Robert Collins]

Coming to you from this weeks patch pilot!

Setting a commit message gives a clear signal to the person merging
the branch about what you'd like the merge to be committed with, and
it spreads the work of coming up with something sensible around :)
Martin has some doc updates which touch on this area, but we may need
to add further changes; he's rearranging whole swathes of stuff
though, and it would be messy for me to propose a change until his
stuff has landed; so I'm holding off adding to the docs until then.

You can set a message a few ways.

In existing merge proposals, you can run feed-pqm bzr (feed-pqm is in
lp:hydrazine). Press 'm' and ENTER to set the message for a particular
approved proposal. Or you can click on the edit icon for the proposal
in the Launchpad web UI.

For new proposals, you can set the commit message when you create it.
Its in 'more options' when you create it via the web UI, and if you
are proposing with lp-propose, use -m on the command line. I'm not
sure if it can be set via email-submitted merge proposals.

Thanks,
Rob
