That's what it sounds like, from the Github GUI you cannot edit the pull request to change the branch once it has been submitted which is annoying. >From the command line you could set a remote for the pull requestor's account and create some local throwaway branches for tests to run etc. There are also some automated CI tools (like Travis CI) that can run tests against pull requests so you can see whether they pass those before merging into the "staging" branch (master-candidate). _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
