It would\nbe useful to get an idea of how many are using this branch (people not\nfollowing the GIT list are probably using the stable releases anyway).\nA \"pu\" branch would make sense for more experimental stuff, like the\nDAG patches.\n\n> If the stgitformatversion patch had been on such a branch, we could\n> just have edited it and not have to worry about upgrading old configs\n> (aside from posting a mail on how to upgrade manually).\n\nBut now I have plenty of branches in my Linux tree already, so I\nwouldn't do it manually. We already have checks for the repository\nversion, adding this would probably only be 2-3 lines.\n\n-- \nCatalin\n"},{"id":"44267","messageId":"b0943d9e0706071455n2136c75fm76571583c279d23b@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"8403","inReplyTo":"20070603121718.GA6507@diana.vm.bytemark.co.uk","subject":"Re: StGIT: stgitformatversion vs. stgit.formatversion","fromName":"Catalin Marinas","fromEmail":"catalin.marinas@gmail.com","sentAt":"2007-06-07T21:55:09Z","receivedAt":"2007-06-07T21:55:09Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"catalin.marinas@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"On 03/06/07, Karl Hasselström <kha@treskal.com> wrote:\n> It happens a bit too often that we find problems with patches only\n> after Catalin has published them on \"master\".
