Just one thing to remember, for future reference: git can create a branch starting at any point in history directly. For example, $ git branch 0.22 0.22.0 $ git checkout 0.22 (or equivalently, but shorter) $ git checkout -b 0.22 0.22.0 would have created a new branch "0.22" which branches off from the commit that was tagged with the "0.22.0" version, and won't include any of the commits to master which were intended for 0.23. -- Calvin Walton <calvin.wal...@kepstin.ca> _______________________________________________ vala-devel-list mailing list vala-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-devel-list
