I believe it is, yes. Relying on diff / sed / patch for porting changes from one branch to another is somewhat fragile, compared to all the nice tools Git has handling branches. With multiple comps-fXX.xml.in files in one repository, Git has no idea that these are really different branches of one comps.xml.in file. And it's not only cherry-pick that breaks with the current model, that was just an example. For instance, git blame doesn't work either. Try doing 'git blame comps-f21.xml.in' -- all the previous history is lost. Besides, we are using Git branches for packages and spin kickstarts, but handling it completely differently in comps. Would be nice to do it consistently everywhere. -- Kalev P.S. This is about https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/comps.git/ in case someone reading it is looking for the repo. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
