The URL above is good for as long as\ngmane continues to live, but that may not be as long as the git project\n(and its mailing-list archives) are interesting.\n\nMeanwhile, a message ID lives forever and can be used in multiple\ncontexts. For example, gmane does already support message-ID-based URLs:\n\nhttp://mid.gmane.org/7vaav3bnr5.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org\n\nThat interface happens to only display the single message, (requiring\nclicking on the subject to see the thread), but one can imagine gmane\ngetting a similar interface to display the thread directly from the\nmessage ID.\n\nMeanwhile, people using systems like notmuch can also use the message ID\ndirectly to view the thread, with something like:\n\n notmuch show id:7vaav3bnr5.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org\n\nSo I'm very much in favor of using message IDs more regularly, (and just\nexpecting that users and their tools will be more accepting of them).\n\nBut for now, you've hopefully got your commit message the way you want\nit. :-)\n\n t/test-lib.sh | 12 ++++++++++++\n 1 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)\n\ndiff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh\nindex afd3053..004470f 100644\n--- a/t/test-lib.sh\n+++ b/t/test-lib.sh\n@@ -2,6 +2,18 @@\n #\n # Copyright (c) 2005 Junio C Hamano\n #\n+# This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify\n+# it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by\n+# the Free Software Foundation, either version 2 of the License, or\n+# (at your option) any later version.\n+#\n+# This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\n+# but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\n+# MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

For example, you will \nsee that Josh Triplett's only (surviving) contribution to test-lib.sh is a \nsingle line saying \"unset MAIL\", which is too trivial to be copyrightable \n(and if it was not trivial, it still would be the only way to accomplish \nwhat it does, so it is again not copyrightable).\n\nCiao,\nDscho\n\n\n"},{"id":"135449","messageId":"87sk8rvmj1.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org","threadId":"22675","inReplyTo":"7vljekipnd.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org","subject":"Re: [PATCH] test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+.","fromName":"Carl Worth","fromEmail":"cworth@cworth.org","sentAt":"2010-02-23T18:23:46Z","receivedAt":"2010-02-23T18:23:46Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"cworth@cworth.org","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/3746dc28cde609bdbd7f939058356e7e2bbd16d21e32274df0725eb3d998bc5b?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"On Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:42:30 -0800, Junio C Hamano wrote:\n> Please drop the above the next time.\n\nOops.

My assumption was that in a commit message for git, readers\nwould naturally assume that a message ID with no additional\nspecification could be found in the archives of the standard git mailing\nlist, (which is the case here).
