It goes more like this:
- A topic that is in a good enough shape to be discussed and moved
forward is given its own topic branch and then merged to 'pu', so
that we do not forget. The topic enters "What's cooking" at this
stage.
- Discussion on the topic continues on the list, and the topic can
be replaced or built upon while it is still on 'pu' to polish it
further.
. We may see a grave issue with the change and may discard it
from 'pu'.
. We may see a period of inaction after issues are pointed out
and/or improvements are suggested, which would cause the topic
marked as stalled; this may cause it to be eventually discarded
as "abandoned" if nobody cares deeply enough.
- After a while, when it seems that we, collectively as the Git
development circle, agree that we would eventually want that
change in a released version in some future (not necessarily in
the upcoming release), the topic is merged to 'next', which is
the branch Git developers are expected to run in their daily
lives.
. We may see some updates that builds on the patches merged to
'next' so far to fix late issues discovered.
. We may see a grave issue with the change and may have to
revert & discard it from 'next'.
- After a while, when the topic proves to be solid, it is merged to
'master', in preparation for the upcoming release.
