Since 3.8 is RC, the odds of a feature being added are low, but critical bug
fixes would probably be accepted. The 3.9 branch will be coming soon, but in
the mean time you could do fixes in your own branch and prepare to rebase them
onto 3.9 when it happens.
The standard workflow for this is:
A) Create your own fork on wix.codeplex.com
B) Pull from your fork
C) Create a local branch and set it up to track your remote wix38 branch
D) (*) Create a feature branch based on the wix38 branch
E) Make your fixes
F) Commit and push your branch
G) Go to codeplex and submit a pull request
That is a highly simplified flow as I also add upstream to my repository so
that I can merge any changes since I forked. I also ensure that at the time of
my pull request my feature is rebased to be in sync with the upstream wix38
branch.
*Note* Before any pull requests can be accepted, you will need to have an
assignment agreement in place.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Building Wix 3.8-HEAD
Hello,
My name is Justin Dearing, and I'd like to compile wix, and possible contribute
to it. I'm of the understanding that there are two branches in dev, 3.8 and
4.0. I would assume conservative changes belong in 3.8. If I am wrong, please
correct me. If I am correct, please read on.
I cloned the wix repo from codeplex. There seem to be no branches but several
tags (its possible I'm doing git wrong. but after doing a fetch I have no
remote branches still. My remotes are as follows:
C:\Users\Justin\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\wix\src\Setup>git remote
-v
origin https://git01.codeplex.com/wix (fetch)
origin https://git01.codeplex.com/wix (push)
My tags are:
v3.8.1007.0
v3.8.1014.0
v3.8.1021.0
v3.8.1031.0
v3.8.514.0
v3.8.520.0
v3.8.611.0
v3.8.708.0
v3.8.715.0
v3.8.722.0
v3.8.819.0
v3.8.826.0
v4.0.1007.0
v4.0.701.0
If I wanted to build the latest 3.8 (which maybe I am wrong to assume is being
developed parallel to a 4.0) how would I do that? Would I check out the latest
branch? Would you not accept even the most conservative patch to 3.8?
Thanks,
Justin Dearing
