Hi,

Please do your best to follow these recommendations when making bug
fixes:

      * If you fix a bug, then indicate it in the related bug ticket.
        Don't forget to clearly identify where the bugfix can be found.
              * You can either upload into your public repo and provide
                its URL and also the changeset ID. (The good thing is
                that the changeset ID remains the same when it
                eventually gets into the main repo.)
              * You can also attach it directly to the ticket as a 'hg
                bundle' (or a simple patch file). 
      * Put a reference to the related ticket number into the commit
        log, preferably in the first line.
      * When you close a ticket, make sure that the location (e.g. the
        changeset ID, or - in case of the svn repo - the revision
        number) of the bugfix can be found in the ticket history.
      * Do not close a ticket until the bugfix eventually got into the
        main repository. 

Thanks,
Alpar
