I saw some emails about the -commits emails still being a work in
progress
but that was a while ago.  Is that still the case?

I just thought I'd mention that I'm not a fan of the current mails where
we
only get the one line summary of the change: I'd (much) prefer to have
the
full text of the commit message.

And as of this morning (or perhaps slightly earlier) I've stopped
receiving them at all...?

Yes, i confirm too...


You can ask Gerrit (in your user preferences) to send you notification
whenever a patchset is submitted; I'm not sure what those emails look
like but they might be more useful.

For example I'd rather see this:

    Fix Bug 9725 'Lua: ProtoField.new() is buggy'

    Using ProtoField.new() is dicey.  Many of the optional arguments
don't
properly check the lua stack - they call lua_isnil() for their index
number,
instead of lua_gettop() to see the stack size.  lua_isnil() may return
false
in such cases.


Than:

      from  c391d74   Fix wslua docs script to handle module names with
digits, like Int64/UInt64
      adds  2466a7c   Fix Bug 9725 'Lua: ProtoField.new() is buggy'


I can learn a lot more (and better follow what others are
discovering/working on) with the details in the former example.

there is interresing to have the same info like :
https://code.wireshark.org/review/gitweb?p=wireshark.git;a=log;h=HEAD

For example :
Add test suite for Lua dissector-related functions
Hadriel Kaplan [Thu, 6 Feb 2014 09:14:11 +0100 (03:14 -0500)]
Add test suite for Lua dissector-related functions

This isn't super-fancy, but it runs a simple protocol dissector and
verifies the tshark output
matches what it expects.  Things like Proto, ProtoField, Field, Tvb,
TvbRange, etc., are used
in an example dissector script - it dissects DNS... partially.  Enough to
make sure things
aren't fundamentally broken.  This provides something to add on top of
later as well.
