Re: [Vcs-fast-import-devs] [RFC] fast-import: notemodify (N) command

Heya,

Most DVCSes do not allow one to non-disruptively change the log
message for a commit.  But sometimes people want to attach information to a
commit after the fact:

 - whether it was tested and worked correctly
 - who liked or disliked the commit (Acked-by, Reviewed-by)
 - corresponding revision number after export to another version
  control system
 - bug number
 - corresponding compiled binary

I talked with Augie Fackler (from hg) about this on IM and he says:

We don't support anything like that at present (no demand, when we check
nobody really seems to use git notes for anything)
so it doesn't seem relevant in fast-export

So at least HG doesn't (currently) have any functionality that they
could use to implement the importing of such a stream.
