Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Question about git style

[Roland Knall <rknall@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can do both. In all fairness, we do not enforce a particular working style with Wireshark, but please keep in mind, that other people must review the stuff. That being said, it usually goes with - it should compile and work - after commit. So submitting things, where you and up with a broken mainline will not fly.

And for gerri, gerri let's you start special branches as well, they are called "topic". Branches exist as well, but usually if you have more than one patchset, which depend on each other, you give all of them the same topic.

cheers

I'm curious whether each submission to gerrit must be a single commit. I'm accustomed with other source management systems to making a branch and then committing fairly frequently. I would do intermediate commits before I had anything complete enough to be added to the mainline code of what I was working on.

I'm new to git and gerrit, but it seems like gerrit wants each submission to be a single commit.

What is the best style? Should I do a commit, and then amend it as I continue to develop?
