great stuff :-) The repository reads 59 branches and 82 tags. In my opinion we should: - remove all ancient tags not related to releases - like "root-before-SDTS-branch" - change all release branches to tags - remove all branches that have been merged or not touched for more than 1-2 years - for releases adopt a strategy e.g.: create release branch from master, do release-related commits there, when finished create a release tag and remove the release branch ... we would end up with just few active branches and tags marking releases or other important milestones. Then I have a question regarding merging stuff from other repositories. For example customization we have done with Radim is based on Sourcepole clone, Pirmin's globe work is also based on that clone. Those are repositories with a different base, so I would expect that merging will not work automatically. Anyone has some experience with such use case? Finally I have one major concern I have forgotten to discuss during the hackfest. There will be no commit revision numbers anymore, so developers will barely stay motivated to develop QGIS knowing that we will never reach (and celebrate) revision 16000 or 20000 (btw. now we are at r15861). Do you have any solution for that? Git's sha1 hashes for the commits may bring in some fun too, though they seem quite random :-) Cheers Martin _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
