Hi,

Thanks for all the work on this project! I have some thoughts.

I often +2 all backports at the start of the window (or even prior the
window), because I want to save time. It enables me to deploy more patches
than I would be able to deploy with scap backport +2'ing it each patch
separately. I also parallelize some of the steps (such as, +2'ing a config
patch during the sync step), which also saves a bit of time. How would I do
this with scap backport? By +2'ing the patch manually, and then letting
scap backport figure out its magic?

Also, I'd like to mention that many ordinary deployments currently require
a script to run. How would that work in scap backport world? When it asks
me for confirmation, I will wait, run the script, and then finish it, to
ensure the script runs at the right time

Martin
