One of the reasons were to test the viability for such commits. I've temporarily enabled the same script that we use for upstream patches to generate patches against linuxtv-commits ML. >>From my experiences, I have some notes: 1) git won't work fine if more than one is committing at the same tree. The reason is simple: it won't preserve the same group as the previous commits. So, the next committer will have troubles if we allow multiple committers; 2) people need to pull/rebase before pushing, if we fix the group permission issue above. I've enabled a hook that is meant to avoid rebase upstream, to prevent troubles if people push something with -f. I hope it works fine. 3) the mailbomb script uses the from: as the email author. However, the linuxtv-commits is limited to posts from a few specific authors. So, I need to add more emails there or change the policy, if we decide to use such script. I'll keep the script disabled for now, until I have some time to check it. In summary, for now, I think that the better is to post all patches to v4l-utils at ML and ask Hans to merge them. -- Cheers, Mauro
