Assuming we're talking about different git commands (a comparative analysis might be useful), let's at least agree to the intent of the patch branches?
IIRC the patch branches exist so that people can easily test a patch. Since we have so little testing, anything we can do to make it easy for people to test patches is a Good Thing. Patch branches have two purposes: To give users a way to test "latest+patch", and to make sure patches don't bit-rot. To that end, we should have a standard (and relatively easy) way to keep a branch at "latest master plus patch LP123", along with an easy way to merge that patch back to master when appropriate. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~geda-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~geda-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
