Guide to committing

This is a guide for core committers of Evergreen.

Committing patches with database upgrade scripts

Confirm that there are no unintended side effects to the upgrade script (data loss, performance issues, etc.)
Figure out the next number in the upgrade script sequence.
Announce on IRC that you are "claiming" that number.
Edit the upgrade script to make sure there is an uncommented evergreen.upgrade_deps_block_check line with the upgrade script number.
Change the file name of the upgrade script to start with the number.
In 002.schema.config.sql, update the config.upgrade_log value to match the upgrade script number. Update the comment at the end to include the nicknames of the people involved in the patch.

Commit the upgrade script and 002.schema.config.sql changes, using a commit message like "Stamp upgrade script"
