Get the patch (including the commit message(s)) for a merge proposal?

Asked by Thomas Bechtold

Is there a way to get the full patch (including the commit messages) for a git merge proposal?

Similar to appending .patch to a github PR url (eg. https://github.com/canonical/multipass/pull/2056.patch )

I don't think we have a URL like this today, but it should be possible get something similar using launchpadlib:

$ lp-shell production devel

mp = lp.load('~toabctl/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/363590')
print(f"From {mp.merged_revision_id} {mp.date_merged}")
print(f"From: {mp.merge_reporter.name} ({mp.merge_reporter.preferred_email_address.email})")
print(mp.commit_message)
with mp.preview_diff.diff_text.open() as fd:
    print(fd.read().decode('utf8'))

See https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/devel.html#branch_merge_proposal for available attributes on the MP object.

And feel free to open a bug requesting such URL if the API is not enough..
