But thinking that you are done is already a problem now, and everybody must deal with your unmerged head doing whatever trick to keep your head apart and don't merge it automatically. That is burdensome and error prone. I would guess that most people would merge your head themselves, just for convenience. And that would not be your plan if, for instance, your patch is being tested/half done/whatever. Allowing multiple heads, your patch is still there, but nobody suffers for it. If fact, if you don't care, your patch will sit out of the tip line and will be not actually integrated in the "tip" code. So you must merge it, but nobody has to pay any price just because you "forgot" :). - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTYIMk5lgi5GaxT1NAQJPaAP/fJv2IKHQycxyfg4xkZaqQe/VbxrpfAeV l4Q6nQKYXKCFyTGrlh0Hx6Kb8lkdR+H1KOGWQ7tZVDITLvnK4YBYXj6Be4Uoddn8 H/zsJYAHz1rGKmkq1erY5+ejZpQ2BhUnPqz20yomACG/hUCXH+KI7kf5yqZ27fTx 5c/all+SNNg= =XNMs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
