Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] docs: Release notes should be updated in a separate commit

Updating docs/news.xml in the same commit that performs the documented change makes backports needlessly complicated, both for mainteinance branches and downstream distributions, because it introduces additional potential for merge conflicts. Document in the contributor guidelines that the release notes should be updated in a separate commit instead, so that it's easy to backport just the code change. --- docs/hacking.html.in | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
