Re: git-cl problem

[John Gourlay]

Phil,

Actually, my copy of Contributor’s Guide in section 3.2.2 says to use “git-cl 
upload master”. But, you raise a good point. I have already merged my changes 
from my philomelos branch into my master branch. If git-cl is comparing those 
two branches it won’t find a difference, and this is evidently my error.

I did “git checkout master” followed by “git-cl upload origin/master” and it 
worked much better. A codereview item was created, but git-cl couldn’t create a 
link from the IllyIssues item to the codereview item. This is an old problem 
that I reported before that nobody was able to explain. The tail end of the 
git-cl output in the terminal window looks like this:

We were not able to associate this patch with a tracker issue.

Problem setting patch status for Allura issue

Are there any more ideas? For this issue I manually posted the codereview link 
to the LilyIssues item.
