That seems like a personal call, really. I very much like being able to keep branches in sync without merge commits as it means I can do stuff like: for i in el6 epel7 f29 f30 f31 master; do fedpkg switch-branch $i; git pull; git merge master; fedpkg push; fedpkg build --nowait; done and I don't find it particularly onerous to deal with sensible conditionals. It all depends a lot on what you prefer as an individual and exactly how much difference there needs to be between branches. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
