So you would add a Git tag like “news-xyz” on the commit of interest and
then refer to it in the news entry?
I guess that would work. Compared to this patch set, we’d just need to
check whether the entry’s commit is a commit or a tag, and in the latter
case resolve it. How does that sound?
I tend to use tags sparsely, almost exclusively for releases, so I would
not naturally propose to use them for this purpose, but maybe it’s not a
problem to have many tags in the repo after all?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
