Improve Jira DVCS documentation
In a sync session with @laurie_howitt, we identified a few things that are not explained well enough in the GitLab Jira Development Panel integration
- Users have to have the same username and email address in order to use smart commits
- When setting up the connection make sure there is no trailing
/
in the URL - And the API scope needs to be replaced on the (browser) URL on the GitLab oauth page, from
scope=repo
toscope=api
- Should we have a section on how to use smart commits and what's involved with the integration setup to enable smart commits to work from a user perspective (same email address or same username) https://confluence.atlassian.com/fisheye/using-smart-commits-960155400.html
- Explain that the user must keep access to the group no matter if the application was set up in /admin or user preferences
- Smart commit commands have to be in the commit title (first line of the commit message)
