There’s been a bit of confusion around Phabricator and updates to commit messages lately (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476425). Arcanist's default workflow is to not update a revision’s Summary field even if the associated commit message is updated (e.g. by `hg commit --amend`) and resubmitted via `arc diff`. This has led to people accidentally checking in the wrong commit message.
We’ve contacted upstream about this issue, and they’ll be looking into it after the big rewrite of Arcanist that they are currently working on ( https://secure.phabricator.com/T13098). In the meantime, there are other ways to update the Summary: - The simplest is to use the web UI to edit the Summary field directly. - You can also use `arc diff --verbatim` when submitting updates. This will update the Summary and some other fields from the commit message. Note that you should first run `arc amend` or manually remove the #secure-revision tag from the commit message. This tag is used by our automation when setting up permissions; if you accidentally set it, you will lock down the revision. - `arc diff --edit` also allows you to update the revision Summary directly, but note that the local commit message *won’t* be correspondingly updated unless you then run `arc amend`. For moz-phab, we will be fixing this ourselves by calling Phabricator’s Conduit API directly. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1494372. We'll be getting to this after git support is finalized (which is in review right now).
