Well, I can run tests for folks before they apply a patch and "red" the

rather than running blind tests.  I am just telling you what people told
me.
I've been slowly trying to rebuild something that was in use at the
OSDL to test patches.  I just proofed something that I think works
with the git repository:

http://207.173.203.223:5000/patch/show/48

If you click on the PASS or FAIL text, it will display the SHA1,
author and commit message that the patch was applied to.  Think this
will be useful?


The issue has always been how much we want to ask people to trust code that is not committed. My answer is "not at all." Reviewers and committers will presumably eyeball the code before trying to compile/run it, but any automated system of code testing for uncommitted code is way too risky, IMNSHO.
