Hi,

I have a working copy of the config-0-0-1-branch with the trunk merged
in now. According to the CVS policy I would have to commit this to the
branch. However, this would be a huge commit due to the intermediate
merge from XFree86. cvs diff -uN outputs a 323074-lines patch (11 MB). I
believe it would unnecessarily blow up the repository. It should be
sufficient to merge the config branch to a trunk working-copy and commit
the result to the trunk. That would be a much smaller commmit.

What size is that patch?


I don't intend to change the CVS policy in this respect, just asking if
it would be ok to make an exception in this case.

There's nothing that says you have to merge a branch to the trunk. If you've got a changeset that you want to apply to the trunk (ie a patch that applies cleanly against the trunk), we can consider that in isolation, regardless of whether it once related to a branch.


I'd be interested to see the actual patch, in fact.

Keith
