be formatted.</p>
<p>Inofficially we used something like [compositor] or [platforms/drm] as tags on<br />
the subject line. But the square brackets in the beginning can lead to issues<br />
with certain tools.</p>
<p>This patch specifies an official guideline which is mostly based on the one<br />
developed in the Angular project:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#commit</a></p>
<p>Using the existing guideline of another big open source project mostly<br />
unchanged hopefully allows us to set this guideline once and without major<br />
changes afterwards.</p>
<p>Some details had to be changed though to take account of KWin's different<br />
programming language and internal structure.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R108 KWin</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>commitMessageGuideline</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D22973">https://phabricator.kde.org/D22973</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>HACKING.md</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>romangg, KWin<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kwin, LeGast00n, sbergeron, jraleigh, fbampaloukas, GB_2, mkulinski, ragreen, jackyalcine, Pitel, iodelay, crozbo, bwowk, ZrenBot, ngraham, alexeymin, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, hardening, romangg, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
