Ahh, OK, I miscounted. The 10 were supposed to replace 6 and then 47 in turn are supposed to replace the whole thing, while these are still *not* in 'next'. OK, will replace fc/remote-hg that is currently on 'pu' with the latest (v4 */47). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The exception was for massive changes, theses are not massive changes, they are no-brainer fixes that would possibly fix regressions.

But now you are saying they regress things and need 6 (in 'next') + 10 + 47 patches to fix on top, in order not to hurt existing users? What is going on? No, I sent *four* patches for 'master', which I eventually increased to ten, because the increased ones are all simple cleanups. And the fixes are obvious and can't possibly introduce regressions, specially since the important change re-introduces the same behavior we had in v1.8.2. The 47 patches I sent are for 'next', and are clearly marked as so. I included the same 10 fixes I sent for 'master', because they never landed on master. People make mistakes and the initial submission being buggy is *not* a problem per-se, but what quality assurance do the 10-patch and/or the follow up 47-patch series have over these 21 patches to assure us that they do not introduce more problems, when we are this close to the final, way less than the 3 weeks we had? Read the patches and you would see. The best we could do to avoid regressions (if there are reported ones) is to revert specific changes that cause the regression that are already in v1.8.3-rc2. Which one(s) should we be reverting, and do you have a regression report that says the commit(s) in question breaks things for a specific project, and reverting it(them) makes things work again? I am going to go one by one to show you the patches make sense for 'master'. -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

[PATCH v3 00/10] remote-hg: fixes and cleanups
Hi, Since the last series is not merged to master yet, I decided to add more cleanups. Felipe Contreras (10): remote-hg: trivial cleanups remote-hg: get rid of unused exception checks remote-hg: enable track-branches in hg-git mode remote-hg: add new get_config_bool() helper remote-hg: fix new branch creation remote-hg: disable forced push by default remote-hg: don't push fake 'master' bookmark remote-hg: update bookmarks when pulling remote-hg: test: be a little more quiet remote-hg: trivial reorganization contrib/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg | 47 contrib/remote-helpers/test-hg-hg-git.sh | 3 +- contrib/remote-helpers/test-hg.sh| 4 +-- 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.rc1.579.g184e698 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Because nothing new will go to 'master' past -rc1 by default, unless you are working on fixing or finding 1.8.3 regressions, this is a good time to polish things that are meant for the next cycle. I know, I've been polishing a bunch of patches for the next cycle for a long time. Folks interested in working remote-hg, please try it out, so that we can have a polished one soon after 1.8.3 ships (I am not saying this round is not polished---I haven't even looked at the patches). And others, please spend time on testing the 1.8.3-rc2 to make sure what we are going to ship is free of embarrassing regressions. The whole purpose of this series is to avoid regressions, that's why I sent them for 1.8.3. I thought I made it clear[1] that we would want these patches in, to avoid regressions, unless it's desirable that we end up pushing garbage to a remote repository. Cheers.
