Hi all, There has been talk about creating branches on the server, but local branches eliminate the pressing need for public branches. I believe public branches often result in tragedy of the commons; without clear ownership, they may not be managed as efficiently as with branches managed wholly individual developers. Cleanup is a problem.
Last night, I started creating a mirror of my repository (as a fork on repo.or.cz). While I am having problems trying to push my branches, our past issues were resolved by its maintainer promptly, so something should appear there soon enough. I encourage other active developers to follow a similar approach, so let me know if a similar attempt works for you on that site. Pulling between repositories should be much easier than sending patches or working with centrally managed branches: that's no better than SVN. Further, any mistakes in these branches will be localized to the clones, rather than getting pushed into the main repository. It seems like it will be sufficient to post "pull requests" to visit (or pull from) these mirrors rather than sending the long series of patches through here, and this takes advantage of the full P2P potential that GIT has to offer. This avoids proliferation of unfinished branches on SF.net and keeps pressure on a branch's author(s) to get the changes finished and merged.
