#
# backport-resolve-issue
#
# Based on "backport-create-issue", which was itself based on work by
# by Loic Dachary.
#
#
# Introduction
# ============
#
# This script processes GitHub backport PRs, checking for proper cross-linking
# with a Redmine Backport tracker issue and, if a PR is merged and properly
# cross-linked, it can optionally resolve the tracker issue and correctly
# populate the "Target version" field.
#
# The script takes a single positional argument, which is optional. If the
# argument is an integer, it is assumed to be a GitHub backport PR ID (e.g. "28549").
# In this mode ("single PR mode") the script processes a single GitHub backport
# PR and terminates.
#
# If the argument is not an integer, or is missing, it is assumed to be a
# commit (SHA1 or tag) to start from. If no positional argument is given, it
# defaults to the tag "BRI-{release}", which might have been added by the last run of the
# script. This mode is called "scan merge commits mode".
#
# In both modes, the script scans a local git repo, which is assumed to be
# in the current working directory. In single PR mode, the script will work
# only if the PR's merge commit is present in the current branch of the local
# git repo. In scan merge commits mode, the script starts from the given SHA1
# or tag, taking each merge commit in turn and attempting to obtain the GitHub
# PR number for each.
#
# For each GitHub PR, the script interactively displays all relevant information
# (NOTE: this includes displaying the GitHub PR and Redmine backport issue in
# web browser tabs!) and prompts the user for her preferred disposition.
#
#
# Assumptions
# ===========
#
# Among other things, the script assumes:
#
# 1. it is being run in the top-level directory of a Ceph git repo
# 2. the preferred web browser is Firefox and the command to open a browser
#    tab is "firefox"
# 3. if Firefox is running and '--no-browser' was not given, the Firefox window
#    is visible to the user and the user desires to view GitHub PRs and Tracker
#    Issues in the browser
# 4. if Firefox is not running, the user does not want to view PRs and issues
#    in a web browser
#
#
# Dependencies
# ============
#
# To run this script, first install the dependencies
#
# virtualenv v
# source v/bin/activate
# pip install gitpython python-redmine
#
# Then, copy the script from src/script/backport-resolve-issue (in the branch
# "master" - the script is not maintained anywhere else) to somewhere in your
# PATH.
#
# Finally, run the script with appropriate parameters. For example:
#
#     backport-resolve-issue --key $MY_REDMINE_KEY
#     backport-resolve-issue --user $MY_REDMINE_USER --password $MY_REDMINE_PASSWORD
