A practice that I have seen is that master is master and general bug fixes merge directly into master. If you are making a major feature or functional change that will likely break things you make a branch for that, get it working, tested and verified. And then merge that into master.
It takes a little more maintenance, but it allows you to treat master as the 'stable' branch without having to have a dedicated 'devel' branch. -- James --- Sent from my mobile phone --- ----- Reply message ----- From: "Tait Clarridge" <[email protected]> To: "rsyslog-users" <[email protected]> Subject: [rsyslog] master branch Date: Tue, Dec 16, 2014 7:24 AM What about creating a branch called develop and working out of that for all the pre-release/pre-RC work. The default branch can be set in github, which is where the pull requests will go by default. And when cloned, the default branch it will check out.
