You can even enforce as a required check before merging that new branches are up to date with the latest changes in master. @Tom: Keeping both a github and SF repository adds quite a bit of work so I think what we are really discussing is whether we want to move completely to github. But that move is a lot of work as well. I (as current de facto maintainer of our official git repository at SourceForge) would not want to do such work. However, if someone else wanted to take up the responsibility of maintaining our official git repository, I would be happy to hand over that responsibility. Furthermore, if they decided it would be a good idea to move to github, I would not get in the way of such a move so long as such a move did not dictate our git workflow and our git history (currently stretching back to the early 90's) was preserved. More later about our workflow under a different subject line.... Alan __________________________ Alan W.
