2022-11-14CONTRIBUTING: Reference release notes in package bumpsMartin Weinelt
This change improves the recommendation for good commit messages to include release notes on package bumps. Including the release notes increases the likelihood that they will be taken into consideration during review. Having them included in the review is important to be able to judge whether changes made during a version bump are sensible, sufficient or complete. The burden of retrieving the release notes for arbitrary package bumps should not rest on the relatively small group of reviewers. Signed-off-by: Martin Weinelt <hexa@darmstadt.ccc.de>

2022-05-29CONTRIBUTING.md: simplify rebasing instructionsNaïm Favier
Makes the instructions easier to remember (and type) using the `git rebase --onto A...B` syntax to find the merge base between A and B (which has been in git for at least 10 years). We also assume that the merge base between staging and master is also the merge base between staging and the current branch (since it is based on master), and giving master as the <upstream> branch makes git consider the commits in the current branch that are not in master, so there's no need to compute the merge base between master and the current branch. In the same spirit of discouraging copy-and-paste, use a placeholder name for the current branch instead of `$(git branch --show-current)`.
