stable: queue/* branches no longer updated

[Matthieu Baerts]

Hi Sasha,

Thank you for maintaining the stable versions with Greg!

If I remember well, you run some scripts on your side to maintain the
queue/* branches in the linux-stable-rc Git tree [1], is that correct?

These branches have not been updated for a bit more than 3 weeks. Is it
normal?

Personally, I find them useful. But if it is just me, I can work without
them.

Nope, it's a bug!

Looks like git was throwing:

fatal: Unable to create '/home/sasha/data/stable-queue-builder/linux-stable/.git/index.lock': File exists.

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.


Which my script was promptly ignoring...

Fixed now, thanks for the heads up!

It looks like these branches are no longer updated. Do you mind checking
on your side please? :)

These stable queue/* branches have not been updated for more than two
weeks. Do you mind checking if there is something stuck on your side,
please? :)
