It seems very unlikely to maintain it separately though. > Basically what I am looking for is making tests/ dir independent of git branch but still part of the git repo. -1, tests can't be independent. You may see a test passing in one branch but failing in other where there is no delta on the test file but some other code changes cause this behaviour change. If developers can be proactive on sending the complete backports I don't see any issue in having the tests in the repo itself. > >> >> >> > >> > >> > Thanks, >> > Raghavendra Talur >> > >> > >> > _______________________________________________ >> > Gluster-devel mailing list >> > Gluster-devel@gluster.org >> > http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel > >
