commit message needs port name.

The RSS feed would be easier to use if the port name was prefixed to the commit message. This would cause the subject line in mail (most of the time) to be sufficiently informative in itself without having to open the RSS message.

Ryan asked me to post the URL the RSS feed was coming from [URL]feed://cia.vc/stats/project/MacPorts/.rss[/URL]

If this is not in our control then perhaps developers could be asked to preface their commit message with "foo:" as some already do.

That URL again for clickable goodness:

feed://cia.vc/stats/project/MacPorts/.rss

I recommend developers committing changes to their ports prefix the log message with the name of the port.

Some commits affect multiple ports, so this won't always be appropriate.

Some commits are for other parts of the repository, like the web site, documentation or MacPorts base code. These commits should not be expected to have a prefix either.

You mention the subject line in mail. Are you reading this RSS feed via your email client? Or have you gotten it to send the RSS postings to your email somehow? If so, you may want to more simply subscribe to the macports-changes mailing list. Subject lines on that list are exclusively the path that was changed. The commit message is contained within the email (not in the subject).

We don't control the CIA RSS feed and our own svn commit mails already contain the modified path in the subject line, therefore I'm closing this ticket as invalid.
