I don't see how that's any better. Things still aren't getting merged. If anything, the "cut using master@{24 hours ago}" is a much better idea.[1] Although it might be useful to see if Wednesday tends to be a relatively active bug-fixing day as the community on non-Wikipedia sites finds issues in the version that was deployed to them on Tuesday, in which case keeping those from making it into the new cut on Thursday (and so requiring more backports or waiting an extra week for fixes) might not be so great. [1]: And yes, 'master@{24 hours ago}' is valid git syntax. -- Brad Jorsch (Anomie) Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
