Changes in emails sent by the forge
Claudio Bantaloukas announces updates to the batrachomyomachia bot for GCC’s forge. These changes aim to streamline the email notifications for patches, specifically by removing threading from patch versions, eliminating cover letters for single commits and pure rebases, and improving the readability of bot-added text. Developers are advised to add a new remote to their local clones for easier fetching of pull requests.
