I have a few concerns: * If a branch is stable enough that you are worried about running 24/7 random tests to find little things, I think that means its time to merge it to trunk? * In a lot of cases, I think a branch is going to be a bit too unstable for this kinda thing, people are going to be ripping things apart, thats why they have a branch. Even trunk seems a bit too unstable with the tests at the moment (though its improving) * In a lot of cases a branch is a single person, maybe two working on it. If tests start bombing, maybe they are on vacation for two weeks and thats a lot of spam. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
