Yes, I have write access to that repository, too, but I intentionally held off from updating it out of a sense of nervousness. I figured if I screwed up anything too badly, people who were clued-in enough to switch to pulling from my repository would be clued-in enough to rebase across any too-horrible mistake I made. ;) I think if we do this again, I will make the same split you do (git/git for integration branches, peff/git as a mirror of my private repo). > And it is not too late to do so; from the look of your "What's > cooking", you are doing pretty well ;-). Any fool can merge topics to master. The real test will be how many regressions people report in the next two weeks. :) By the way, I did not touch 'maint' at all while you were gone. I don't know what your usual method is for keeping track of maint-worthy topics after they have gone to master. The usual "what's cooking" workflow keeps track of things going to master, but no more; I'd guess you probably just merge to maint when you delete them from last cycle's "graduated to master" list. I just let them stew in master for a bit longer, and we can easily find and merge them with "git branch --no-merged maint | grep maint". -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
