Since this change involves a *lot* of changes to existing patchwork
installations, I'm reluctant to accept it without a really good reason
for the change. Between ozlabs.org and kernel.org, we have around 50,000
patch objects that would need to be updated due to this schema change.
As you say, on one hand we don't need the special case for generating
the mbox data, but now we do need special case for the log_msg field in
the patch template (in which case we need to fake it up as a comment).
However, if there *is* a compelling reason to do so, I'm happy to merge
this, you just need to convince me first :)
If you're looking for correct counts, just do a:
Comment.objects.filter(patch = patch). \
filter(msg_id != patch.msg_id).count()
Also, please include a SQL-only migration script, rather than a python
one. Makes it much easier to upgrade.
Cheers,
Jeremy
