From 84b481298433dfe1ec8dc32143f6c8d66f13b3ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "W. Trevor King" Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 15:31:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] CONTRIBUTING: Allow collaborative pull requests For runtime-spec, there are often PRs that pickup and reroll another user's commits (e.g. opencontainers/runtime-spec#337). As long as the Signed-off-by entries are there (for the DCO) and the new PR references the earlier work (to avoid maintainer confusion), I see no problem with this sort of collaboration. I thought about replacing the old wording with words like the above paragraph, but it seemed overly prescriptive. Signed-off-by: W.

Most editors have plugins that do this automatically. Pull requests descriptions should be as clear as possible and include a reference to all the issues that they address. -Pull requests must not contain commits from other users or branches. - Commit messages must start with a capitalized and short summary written in the imperative, followed by an optional, more detailed explanatory text which is separated from the summary by an empty line.
