this? Other reasons?


It's a minor annoyance to have to load Bugzilla in a web browser to
figure out the version to use when filing a bug with git-bz.

Agreed. I would actually call it a major annoyance, since it entirely
breaks the git-bz workflow. I think I'm just being an old man though.

Note that as long as there is also no standardized
General/general/Miscellaneous/misc component for all products, that
would still need to be done anyway to figure out what Component to use
when filing bugs with git-bz.

Actually, the components in a product can be queried using Bugzilla's
XMLRPC API, and if hooked up to tab completion in git-bz, could be used
from the command line:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742402

2) Shall we standardize this? (I volunteer to rename; "git master"
seems to be the most popular option.) Or is that a waste of time?

I think standardizing on 'git master' would be great. Thanks for
volunteering.

Agreed.
