OK, with no additional feedback here, Andy and I have discussed and we will adapt our process by using individual review branches which 0-day can pull from which are considered transient and mutable. After this, the patches will be added to the common testing branch, which will now be fast-forward only [1]. After a short period, testing will move to for-next and fixes branches in preparation for pull-requests, just as before. Thanks, 1. We may eliminate the testing branch as it may not offer any value over for-next, but we'll work through at least one release cycle before doing so. -- Darren Hart VMware Open Source Technology Center
