Great, done that. Re making a branch, remember we can always go back and do that should the necessity arise, even if the “master” pointer has moved past it. From: Chris Marshall Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2015 8:50 PM To: Ed ; pdl-devel Subject: Re: [Pdl-devel] Crufty git branches I'm fine w

2015-02-28 Thread Chris Marshall
All- A lot of the perceived problems come from one developer assuming a work flow for a branch not originated by them. For example LLDF was a one-off branch that was intended to provide visibility and opportunity for developers to see and/or help with fixing the 64bit index issues. In hindsight

I'm fine with deleting the following branches from PDL code: cpan_2.006_release cpan_2.007_04 cpan_2.007_release release_2.4.10 We can always generate a real branch at the release tag if maintenance is needed for a release separate from the on-going development. --Chris On 2/28/2015 14

[Pdl-devel] Git configuration policy question: forbid merge commits?

2015-02-28 Thread Ed
Dear PDL devs, I would like to get consensus on this: should merge commits be forbidden? In my recent experience with core-cleanup and LLDF, their use by some devs has led to serious confusion, especially when the merge commit has led to changes being silently dropped despite the commits being

2015-02-28 Thread Ed
Dear PDL devs, I have set the Git configuration to now allow force-pushes. This is essential for topic branches. It is now physically possible on master, but it is bad practice to use it on that, so please don’t. Best regards, Ed--
