We discussed this at a weekly meeting a few weeks ago and I believe agreed that 
work should be done against wix4 and back ported to wix3 (if appropriate). Of 
course, bugs only in wix3 should only go there. <smile/>

Bob, Sean, Jacob, correct me if I'm remembering that wrong.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Dual check ins?

I seem to recall at some past meeting that post-3.9 we should start doing dual 
check ins. Is that correct? Even if not, I see after a weekend of doing so that 
the tool chain code has diverge quite a bit so I'm sure Rob probably 
appreciates the help...but hopefully I'm not screwing up your process*. So I 
don't mind doing it, just wondering if there's any reason we shouldn't at this 
point (especially with 3.x development supposed to be winding down).


* BTW, what is that process? I added wix3 as a remote of wix4 and tried 
cherry-picking but, of course, the code was so different (namely, in 
src\tools\wix) it didn't really offer any benefit. Additionally - and this was 
weird - 'git diff -- history.md' showed what appeared to be a complete diff 
with wix3 (i.e. all lines changed) while running 'git difftool -g' with kdiff 
configured showed me just a conflict in the line I wanted to add. Since kdiff 
gets temporary files made by 'git' I thought this was really weird.
