How I'm reading the latter paragraph is that patch messages are
*alternative* as some non-patch summary message, am I wrong? I think the
two should be orthogonal: you can have or not a summary message, you can
have or not a patch.
But still this does not solve another problem we have with patch
management in the BTS: they are sometimes inlined, while sometimes the
are attached. Can't we fix attachment as the required format for
patches? (e.g. forcing an attachment if one wants to add +patch or
something similar). This + the forthcoming ability above to identify
*the* latest patch will give us the ability to automatically extract
patches from bug reports.
Cheers.
