Peer-to-peer development doesn't mean you have more then one 'authoritative' clone. There can only be one mainline. Even Linux has the Linus-blessed main git repo. That QtRuby project in github is basically a feature branch created by someone who was a bit confused by CMake. I don't think its a good reason to split up kdebindings. ...but the idea of kdebindings-support was for syncing up release cycles better. Kdebindings keeping to the kdelibs release cycle has always been a challenge. I wonder if it the bindings shouldn't be split up and put into extragear or something. I dunno. (still think this is mostly a kdebindings thread thats only tangentially related to git) Ian _______________________________________________ Kde-scm-interest mailing list Kde-scm-interest@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-scm-interest
