git-bz: Bugzilla subcommand for Git

Update: For current documentation, see: http://git.fishsoup.net/man/git-bz.html

Now that gnome-shell development is in full swing, I’ve been spending a lot of time creating patches with git and git-svn, and then pasting the git-format-patch results into Bugzilla. That seemed like a highly automatable task. git-send-bugzilla wasn’t really what I was looking for. Hence, git-bz:

 
# File the last commit as a new bug on the default tracker
git bz file my-product/some-component HEAD^

# Attach a series of patches to an existing bug
git bz attach bugzilla.gnome.org:1234 b50ea9bd^

# Prompt if you want to apply each patch attachment from a bug
git bz apply bgo:1234

Just the script: http://git.fishsoup.net/cgit/git-bz/plain/git-bz
GIt repository: git clone git://git.fishsoup.net/git-bz

I haven’t tested with anything but bugzilla.gnome.org yet; expect some things to need fixing.

    Cool stuff! Don’t know of others but something really useful for me at least.

    git-bugzilla has been around for a while, and used by a few people at gnome, including behdad, chpe and myself.

    I’m trying to port this from httplib to urllib2.

    Neat. Is there an equivalent tool for patch-bombing google code?

    Wow. I didn’t even have to provide Bugzilla credentials. It’s amazing what you could do just with cookies.

    I got the following error:

    Error getting login cookie from browser:
    /home/sebn/.gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/cookies.sqlite doesn’t exist

    Solution:
    $ cd ~/.gnome2/epiphany/
    $ mkdir mozilla
    $ cd mozilla/
    $ ln -s .. epiphany

    Now it works 🙂

    Great tool. Is there any possibility to write a message when attaching the patch?
