Bug Description
I just received an e-mail message about bug 119384 that began:
------------
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 95419 ***
https:/
** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 95419
Record dependencies between bugs
------------
This suggests that the bug was a duplicate before I marked it as a duplicate, but it wasn't.
Better would be something like:
------------
*** This report has been marked as a duplicate of bug 95419
"Record dependencies between bugs"
https:/
------------
It's even worse when the bug report was already a duplicate, and it's changed to be a duplicate of a different bug report:
------------
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 93410 ***
https:/
** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 211680
Not obvious why karma decreases
** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 93410
Explain better why karma goes down
------------
Again, it would be better without the first section:
------------
*** This report is no longer a duplicate of bug 211680
"Not obvious why karma decreases"
https:/
** It's now a duplicate of bug 93410 instead
"Explain better why karma goes down"
https:/
