Hi Stephen, Jason and I would like you to make another change if you could. Well, two actually. First, we've found that now that we are both pushing to the same tree, the use of a tag instead of a branch for your for-next testing is dangerous. In particular, kernel git repos have a fast- forward requirement on all branches, so an attempted push to a branch that has stale data from the pusher (say I just managed to push to the branch a few minutes before Jason and Jason hasn't pulled my changes into his branch before he decides to push his) is denied by the post hooks. But no such check is in place for tags, and indeed we are allowed to wipe out tags at will. This has already been an accident once, and there is no sense letting it be one again, so we've changed our workflows to compensate for this fact, and with that change, the for-next tag will no longer be kept up to date, it will only be pushed when we are sending a pull request, and that's too late for testing.=20 =46rom now on, the for-next branch is the canonical source going forward for testing purposes prior to a pull request. The second thing is we would like you to also add our for-rc branch.=20 Most of the time this will be a no-op, but we think there is some value in making sure that -rc patches aren't going to cause future merge problems with the for-next branch. =20 Let me know if we can do those two things. Thanks! --=20 Doug Ledford GPG KeyID: B826A3330E572FDD Key fingerprint =3D AE6B 1BDA 122B 23B4 265B 1274 B826 A333 0E57 2FDD --=-spm2GsdiE5tX+e3I9fDU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEErmsb2hIrI7QmWxJ0uCajMw5XL90FAlpWfU4ACgkQuCajMw5X L92ZNA/+PxtoLw4VIQhaoeJ8YuOxucv2dSFFZv2cGEAPnypeYO4Yg0y+Bu0UIpx6 Mn/1UMJ6TCycSWl8upVaZKWw+7tBCVP3qaAsx0PyHBMRIJCUKucycvm62qCOGcZI 8I8XOi/aa1dEYncF0Xhb28qzR50GP00D2UBNvoCNjFKKcH8KG/TjCxdicuZ1EC8T IdlgOMG981qaprmaPCC4KDqsgH6Wa8z3cNrE0LlUPiOy/AbJ8iw8QEgjzkSZvi7v qsSmS+8R/pwaQ0CU5ok6sUntsAyH8NH9ckc5xNQkQCmu7OoYd0Z6+nfGyc5fSCQm WcMjeQ6pDSutUJg1hhAoipXDcHWdHmKZrnGHrEcCeu97kupg7u6VXd09XXD+DAHX GC8y6A1vhsONiVekqEQTlC0AuN1ap0Kxd2BirhPl1BjCVAdOyr9GciLy+xxAB7Gd 5wipxiCEKTRuodDBvFfaGXUiLXAcgTPmoTsG3lV/xboCzeiZW1ZQcfU6nI4kQuWF DL5aroinQonOvOxX8UlhvJpBX4xmgbBJX2E5sYQWiJUtK8zGduZkShfFm24grSam HWyJ1iYuKXWyxjYv2J9sV2wBn3wIuI9Z/0E4henVd93VGAkaZhQIZw+sjep10z3Q 44WlCgEaK4OC79vIdWLdhpFT1fTEVO/jt+jMGGB60WbltF+czZs= =YWGY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-spm2GsdiE5tX+e3I9fDU-- -- 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
