Hi, this patch or similar would really make generating test data a lot
easier (please see the behavioral tests in these bugs [1] for examples).

If it were up to me, we'd also get rid of the interactive toggling, at
least while sessions are ongoing. The reason is that I find the most
interesting/important parts of a session to be the initial "connection
registration" phase and subsequent server burst (and possibly any
NickServ interactions and early JOIN activity that immediately follow).
But out of respect for tradition, I've left all of that alone. Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Add CRLF to outgoing ERC protocol logger lines

* erc.el (erc-debug-irc-protocol): Previously, the newline handling
was disguising a subtle, semi-important bug in which phantom line
feeds were accidentally being sent to servers. Also, there was a
harmless but annoying mismatch between outgoing and incoming lines:
the latter lacked carriage returns. This adds them everywhere to make
machine parsing easier. This also makes room for the addition of a
session identifier, if one is ever introduced. When set, such a
variable would make logging more meaningful when multiple sessions
exist for the same network. Also added are timestamps to aid in
reproducing bugs. And outgoing lines are no longer propertized.
(erc-debug-irc-protocol-time-format): Add new variable to help
with reproducing bugs.
(erc-debug-irc-protocol-version): Add new variable to print atop
erc-protocol log files for tracking format used for logging.
(erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Add headers to log buffer for
the benefit of bug-reproduction tools, so they can detect the
format used in a log. Clean up overlong lines.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Add CRLF to outgoing ERC protocol logger lines

* erc.el (erc-debug-irc-protocol): Fix line-ending mismatch between
incoming and outgoing logger lines without changing interface. Do this
by adding carriage returns to the latter to improve machine
readability. Change printed peer labels to most accurately reflect
logical endpoints.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-time-format): Add new variable to support
timestamps in protocol logger output.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-version): Add new variable to help tooling
track logging format independent of ERC and Emacs versions.

(erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Add headers to protocol-log buffer
to aid future bug-reproduction tools. Clean up overlong lines.

This is bug#50009.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Add CRLF to outgoing ERC protocol logger lines

* erc.el (erc-debug-irc-protocol): Fix line-ending mismatch between
incoming and outgoing logger lines without changing interface. Do this
by adding carriage returns to the latter to improve machine
readability. Change printed peer labels to most accurately reflect
logical endpoints.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-time-format): Add new variable to support
timestamps in protocol logger output.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-version): Add new variable to help tooling
track logging format independent of ERC and Emacs versions.

(erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Add headers to protocol-log buffer
to aid future bug-reproduction tools. Clean up overlong lines.

This is bug#50009.

Should be good now.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Add CRLF to outgoing ERC protocol logger lines

* erc.el (erc-debug-irc-protocol): Fix line-ending mismatch between
incoming and outgoing logger lines without changing interface. Do this
by adding carriage returns to the latter to improve machine
readability. Change printed peer labels to most accurately reflect
logical endpoints.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-time-format): Add new variable to support
timestamps in protocol logger output.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-version): Add new variable to help tooling
track logging format independent of ERC and Emacs versions.

(erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Add headers to protocol-log buffer
to aid future bug-reproduction tools. Clean up overlong lines.

This is bug#50009.

v5. Having two styles of line terminator (both CRLF and LF) present in
the same buffer was dumb. So now it's just CRLF everywhere. I've also
explained a bit about the format in the doc string for the version
number variable. Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Add CRLF to outgoing ERC protocol logger lines

* erc.el (erc-debug-irc-protocol): Fix line-ending mismatch between
incoming and outgoing logger lines without changing interface. Do this
by adding carriage returns to the latter to improve machine
readability. Change printed peer labels to most accurately reflect
logical endpoints.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-time-format): Add new variable to support
timestamps in protocol logger output.

(erc-debug-irc-protocol-version): Add new variable to help tooling
track logging format independent of ERC and Emacs versions.

(erc-toggle-debug-irc-protocol): Add headers to protocol-log buffer
to aid future bug-reproduction tools. Clean up overlong lines.

This is bug#50009.

I think we can all agree this kind of "come to think of it" iteration is why
PR-based submission is superior to patches.

Do we?  What's superior about it?

Sigh, it pains me to have to add to the verbiage maelstrom that is debbugs
when the antiquity of GNU patch is self-evident.

A maintainer's sanity is inversely related to how much reading he has to do.
In a PR-based workflow, the changeset is unambiguous.  On a platform like
Github, the changeset is manifest (in pretty colors) from the "Files Changed"
tab in a PR submission.  Eleventh-hour revisions get incorporated without fuss
via the mild genius of git.

Here, OP has submitted several changesets, of which only the chronologically
latest he wishes the maintainer to consider.  To ascertain this fact, the
maintainer must read, and recall his happiness is inversely proportional to
how much reading he has to do.

In a cluster**** like bug#45474 where literally every one and their third
cousin is espousing a changeset, the maintainer not only has to read, he has
to decide, and that is a whole other circle of hell.  The programmer's
tendency to pontificate and obfuscate (of which the present missive is a fine
example) does not help matters.

You are not helping, so please at least don't interfere.

There's no problem knowing which patch is the latest one, contrary to
your propaganda.

EZ> You are not helping, so please at least don't interfere.

Your hamfisted use of the terms "helping" and "interfere" presuppose a notion
of progress, one which is premised on the status quo.

No, I mean helping and interfering with us, the maintainers, doing our
job.

To be clear, GNU is by far not the only project that uses patch-driven
workflows.

I don't see how a GitHub-like interface which separates code from
surrounding context/discussion is any more helpful.  PR comments are
also meant to be read and responded to -- much like email threads --
only they're more poorly implemented and often require a full blown
web browser to interact with.

I get the 'pretty colors' and syntax highlighting in my MUA (email
client), which happens to be Emacs-based, just fine.  For Emacs,
there's even a wonderful 'debbugs' package on GNU ELPA that I highly
encourage folks to try, if they use the debbugs bug tracker regularly.

I mean, using a decent MUA one could easily skip or move back and
forth between various replies in a thread, and fairly quickly tell
which attached patch needs review/merging, like Eli alluded to.

I'm not sure what to say to this, other than 1. those sound to me
like rather unkind characterizations of the people involved in that
discussion and their work, and 2. I've seen my fair share of similarly
long yet considerably worse GitHub discussions/comments.  As far as
I could tell from a quick glance, people in bug#45474 seem to be
discussing/collaborating in good faith, and amicably.  Yet I wouldn't
attribute that to the underlying piece of software (Debbugs) or
workflow (patch-based) being used.

To wrap up this wall of text and move on, I get that different people
have different preferences of workflow, but I don't see how the things
you said describe any inherent advantage/"superior"ity of the PR-based
workflow.  If your point is about pushing code to some branch for
review and subsequent updates being more convenient, people already do
that for larger changes to Emacs (e.g. native-comp) by developing
their work in an auxiliary 'feature/...' branch in emacs.git, which is
then reviewed and hopefully merged into the main development branch at
some point.

"Considerably worse" would be an understatement.  Verbosity is a function of
the age and number of participants, and Github skews unfavorably in both those
categories.

My point was the verbosity, a systemic cost to doing business, does not
under a PR-based workflow occlude the proposed changeset, whereas under
"wonderful" Debbugs the proliferation of proposed patches could.

Your raising the example of native-comp merely reinforces my point that
branch-based schemes are superior to ad hoc email-based ones.

It's clear we've already made our minds about it.  But you asked, so I
answered.  Pardon the "interference" to those trying to "do their job."

This discussion doesn't belong here.  Here we discus a specific issue
submitted to the Emacs issue tracker.  Broad discussions about our
development workflows should be held on emacs-devel.  Please move it
there (if you must have this discussion, which is about the umpteenth
time it is being brought up, including very recently).

Whatever you do, please STOP discussing it here.  Right now, the only
effect this has is to make following the discussions of bug#50009 much
harder by polluting it with unrelated messages, which are not even
tangents.

Thanks; makes sense to me (and seems to work well when testing it), so
I've pushed it to Emacs 28.

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

Can a PR-based workflow be made to operate via email, in a way that
doesn't require a net connection?  (Except, at some later time, for
committing a change.)  That is a requisite for us.

You may construe my reticence on the matter as dutiful compliance to the
maintainer's exhortations.

As I said, we should NOT discuss these matters in an unrelated bug
report.

Our prerequisite is not to have the PR workflow work via email, it is
that the maintainer's part of the workflow could be done via email.
