Description

Maybe others will no agree with me, but lot of issues I create is filed with "x" or simillar balast in description field, because sometimes I'm deadly descriptive with Subject only ;)

Or, it can be put into Redmine's main configuration so admin will decide if Description is required or not...

+1 I tend to copy and paste the subject into the description which is really annoying

Changes seems to work fine, however the patch file has some "git references" and I couldn't just "cd trunk" then "patch -p0 < allow_empty_descriptions-1014.diff".
Here goes another patch file.

Thank You, Eric. So it seems I have to learn how to deal with .diff files ;)
Because we're using SVN to upgrade our Redmine, dosen't create some conflict states after updating SVN when usinf diff'ed files?
And why not to use this modification in trunk?
Thanx!

It shouldn't create a conflict unless the same files where modified in SVN. You can also back out any patches before upgrading by following these steps:

  1. Apply patch
    patch -p0 < the-patch-file.diff
  2. ... some time later ...
  3. Reverse the patch
    patch -p0 -r < the-patch-file.diff
  4. Upgrade SVN copy:
    svn update
  5. Reapply the patch to the updated code:
    patch -p0 < the-patch-file.diff

And why not to use this modification in trunk?

I don't have permissions to commit to SVN directly.
