I agree with this impression. Personally when I have a "pending branch", I keep a firefox tab open in the issue, as a "reminder". It bugs me a lot. And that is the point. Most of the time, I push all the changesets for all branches in a single operation. The (mainly) only time I could push a single branch is if I want to try the patch in the buildbots first, before applying to all relevant branches. And I try to avoid it, because I know some other people are going to have issues when doing their own merges trying not to merge my changeset themselves, specially newbies (the +1 head thing). I agree that half the changesets are merges now. But that is an artifact of our commit culture (create a patch, commit inmediatelly). Another approach would be to spend some time writing patches, committing locally and doing a giant merge & push at the end of the week :-). (DIGRESS: If buildbots could download & test a remote arbitrary HG repository, it would be a big improvement for this, and a galaxy-size security hazard :-p... Although now any "pusher" can break-in any buildbot machine simply pushing some ugly test code, of modified "configure" script. Uhm... Maybe a wiki about how to set up a "chroot" buildslave would be something to think about... Any info about this?) The good thing about merging so frequently is that mergin is easy, painless and every committer must go thru it for her own patches, instead of putting that responsability on somebody else. "hg log" can be a bit unusual for us, but pretty moot. we are getting used to it, yet. No forgeting up-porting changesets is a massive improvement with the late svnmerge practice (nobody cared about automatic merging, but merging by hand anyway, cherrypicking revisions). - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTYGG55lgi5GaxT1NAQLEDwP+L3AsqeXMpgEOKJFW6gqs0ahjbqF61Ao5 zThKWqXQoAyDm+21bT8aJR3Ogrix+dI37PrTRa6B8L+S2tDh3PdG984tOUOsGUvp KNa+GSNai1OotfLUebBhCvGlPAapQnWK9xoELYjO8Lo7YTkfWspXGv5e3exIQQJp AmunpKy1I3U= =gS+8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
