Don't worry; I didn't feel offended. The Travis stuff running on the branches at http://github.com/git/git would surely catch issues on MacOSX and/or around git-p4 (neither of which I test myself when merging to 'pu') before they hit 'next', and that is already helping us greatly.

And if volunteers or bots pick up in-flight patches that have not hit 'pu' and feed them to Travis through their repositories, that would also help the project, so your work on hooking up our source tree with Travis is greatly appreciated.

It was just that Travis running on broken-down topic branches that appear in http://github.com/gitster/git would not help my workflow, which was the main point of illustrating the way how these branches work.

Thanks.
