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
