We are getting ready to switch over to git as our CM tool, but have an issue.
In our organization we track changes via a Change Request (CR) number. We may end up with multiple commits, by one or more users under a single CR number. When we deliver our CM folks want to be able to see all the files that have changed for a particular CR number. Is there an elegant way to do this in git?
Restating the problem. I wish for our developers to be able to reference multiple commits with one number, and then find those commits via that number. And I don't mind scripting to accomplish this. I know, that CR # can be put in the commit message, then I can grep and parse the log, that is the hard way.
It would seem that this would be a relatively common problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
