Currently, hub.sr.ht submits a job for any patch sent to a mailing list for a repo with a build manifest, but _apply_patch will only target the default branch, so developing on multiple branches is more difficult.
We should
[PATCH repo-name branch-name v2 1/2]: check if other conventions exist first)I couldn't find any conventions for specification of branch. Patchwork doesn't even have a convention for specification of target-repo, but patchwork's documentation does say
it's also possible to have multiple projects in the same list using the subject as filter.
Their subject_match code allows defining arbitrary regular expressions to match the project when a list has multiple projects, so there's lots of customizability allowed here.
The only alternative I could think of would be
[PATCH repo-name@branch-name v2 1/2]. (It's unlikely a repository name would contain an@, though we are already using space as a separator.)Ideally, we'd want something that can be used easily with
git send-email, but it doesn't seem like they have anything made for this.Using the
@sign would give a shorter way of defining the subject for a list that only has one project: e.g.[PATCH @branch v3 0/3]. This would also remove ambiguity of sending a patch to a branch named "v3".
