And then we still have to find out if that concept works at all in the
FPC context.
And yet it works flawlessly on 10,000s of other open source projects (big
and small). I simply don't know why you think FPC is so special that it
will not work here.
FPC is special in the regard that it is a compiler and that it has an
extremely high coupling between compiler and rtl units. So, changes are
very interdependent. It's hard to separate them and treat them as
independent, because they're simply not.
So ? How is the proposed flow at odds with this ?
I would think rather the opposite: by doing a MR you ensure related commits
remain together.
I'm not sure I understand the question. Graeme's proposal includes squashing
commits.
That part I would definitely not take, we're agreed on that.
But this does not mean we should reject everything he proposes.
Michael.
