I do that because I've publicly announced that my github repo is a WIP repo, and that it might be rebased. That allows me to correct build issues by fixing up the broken patch and thereby keep bisectability at its highest. If you use a branch/tag on k.o for your 0day testing, then fixes have to be incremental and depending on which patch broke the build, there might be a significant segment of code that is no longer bisectable. > > * Any patches that will be sent to Linus must have been in the for-next > > repository for at least a few days.

That allows for oddball scenarios that you might want to get testing. Say, for instance, that you have a for-next branch with most of your stuff, but you also have a separate branch that simply isn't ready to be pushed yet, but you still want to get some early merge analysis, then you create a throwaway branch, merge your for-next and this topic branch together, throw the for-next tag on it for a couple or three days, and if Stephen doesn't find anything, you're on the right path with your development code. Then you just reset the tag prior to pushing to Linus. --=20 Doug Ledford GPG KeyID: B826A3330E572FDD Key fingerprint =3D AE6B 1BDA 122B 23B4 265B 1274 B826 A333 0E57 2FDD --=-ShSh+y8qVKN6iykEV0WJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEErmsb2hIrI7QmWxJ0uCajMw5XL90FAloPPD0ACgkQuCajMw5X L92NcA//cSulaaEc9ZCUup/lekNXmidiyIHVyXieCe22ZXDp8/WCMtgq6LGX0/Eq PAPahbhXq+eFDAg/pehoaPB9MUBoEGx4apo6RFh4fSU3YNvF1h33gmHpi+x6BSoY LVAkOHSgvl7RGxU6xNo61vX2BLy/BTsPrmGTAiZGLmx0rwK6VdPvOA22kKWG8psp GA1Zyzij4SHUDkC+dT9p2aIIETe822UIt6FK4Zxzf086YWZOOS+BcTcq7Hi9uemZ L2QUeXlFfktoiu+0D/fx0bT49I/kyrLzYnw8vO31J18kCeKdbEVZM4rLDP/kZGz+ hQe2TA5zxn+yHUfBbhEp5G8+W579UJnoK6BrvvwaoNDHJYVqF6IuEnEVEsU3Mn8j f4GXmbHKeirDIviZS2BvPVhI368vTOpcWdMxwdw5Rf1rfNtgfi+LjurjpTTG8AP2 zR3nm7sAUaN2Rm67bRvlEJfa1C/F7FolfDzrv8XwD8O9epcEMCMtP9AA02dF6jWG VHkUQgTD6RcYGtwIJTkRY9mi/lEacto6j17CJLcqHqFsqqQthyDXuXHY+k+V/H4W rKctuViTrf2h4NmC3UzLMqzMzxQoaYSE6ZvV6G5HaUz3eByLC/fhn58M4DPynP8Z /j73PWQQ1uejm4wQBqnh/0CHGwtSniXXZ1HbS6FXjVsucdYtRFY= =Yb0n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ShSh+y8qVKN6iykEV0WJ-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
