Hi there According to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_git_workflow#Branching_Model, "there may be developer-specific, task-specific, project-specific branches etc". As far as I understand, it means I can go and create my own branch on the main repository and push it and it gets spread all over the place. Is that correct?
Could someone explain to me the rationale behind this decision? Truth to be told, I kinda dislike the fact any developer can do this. proj/gentoo should be kept for "serious business" i.e. commits that affects the tree. On the long run, if everybody goes down that road, we will see flourish numerous branches (who said unmaintained?), all stalled at a different state of the main repo, and it will only generate a lot of noise and confusion for nothing. Further, since we've moved over to git, the main tree now gets replicated to github and we all have github accounts here, don't we? Which makes the whole forking and submitting PRs a cinch. If a developer wants to tinker with the tree, he can fork it to its github devspace, fiddle around, and later on send us a PR back with his changes to merge. Cheers, Patrice
