This is a good point: I'm doing the same kind of copy / paste. We'll have to adjust the granularity.

   http://ceph-workbench.dachary.org/users/auth/github

was setup and is dedicated to the tool. Please let me know when you first login so that I can make you an admin.

Cheers

We all have copies on our local disks and although they don't diverge much, this is not very sustainable. It was really good as we established the backport workflows. And it would have been immensely painful to maintain a proper software while we were changing the workflow on a regular basis. But it looks like we now have something stable.
