In the Advanced Patch Contriibutor's Guide In the "Creating patches via feature branch" section - what is the Issue Number being mentioned? The issue queue of the module I have patched doesn't seem to have "issue numbers" as such any place obvious .... or have I missed something staring me in the face? Or do I make the issue number up?

Answered on #drupal-contribute IRC channel. Many thanks.

You use the node number of the issue: e.g. If the issue is at http://drupal.org/node/1054616 then the issue is 1054616.

OK, an obvious choice to identify the issue, but not explicitly stated in the docs describing how to make a patch with Git or the Advanced Patch Contributors's Guide. The pages flow well but I'll try to unobtrusively add this detail.

I edited the two documentation pages and also noted that http://drupal.org/node/52287 says, wrt including the issue number in the Git commit comments:

This convention is interpreted by the commit log on drupal.org to provide a link back to the issue.

.

So the choice of issue number is indeed important.
