Sorry if this is dumb, as I'm unsure how Git (the mailing list) handles regression tracking, but I saw no mention of this thread: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=130445013906259&w=2

Is this something overlooked or something you're aware of just not worried about at the minute. What is the process if a merge to master causes a regression, do you just git revert the offending merge, fix on the branch, then re-merge?

Many thanks
