Hey gang,
Just so everyone is aware, if you are working on a patch for either a
feature branch or a major branch, if you name the patch with the branch name
following the spec in HowToContribute (and a few other ways… test-patch tries
to figure it out!), test-patch.sh *should* be switching the repo over to that
branch for testing.
For example, naming a patch foo-branch-2.01.patch should get tested on
branch-2. Naming a patch foo-HDFS-7285.00.patch should get tested on the
HDFS-7285 branch.
This hopefully means that there should really be no more ‘blind’ +1’s
to patches that go to branches. The “we only test against trunk” argument is
no longer valid. :)
