I think you should do smaller batches more frequently, i.e. commit 20 patches every day instead of >100 patches each week. Advantages: * Patches don't hang around in staging forever, which makes everybody happy. * Patch ack-ing via qemu-commits works reasonable. * Reduce your workload: You can ask patch submitters to deal with merge conflicts then without making the merge process unreasonable slow. Just drop anything which doesn't apply as-is, ask the submitter to rebase+resend, pick up the fresh patches the next day. * I'd suspect we'll also have less patch conflicts in the first place then. Disadvantages: * Might be more testing work (how automated is this btw?). >>> Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 01/19] Suppress more more kraxelism >>> >>> Let's kick off this series with some of the more critical fixes. >>> >>> Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin >> >> What would you be thinking hunting the commit log for some change and >> coming up with this? I like that one, but it is a insider gag for qemu-commits readers and thus indeed not very useful when you'll read it a year or two in the future ... cheers, Gerd
