Most people tend to prefer (1), so let's prefer that: - merge your fixes to master - *make sure they are then cherry-pick -x'd to mimic* Greg pointed out that we will *also* periodically merge mimic back into master so that the release/version tag is reflected in the master branch's history, so if you end up merging a fix directly to mimic that will work too. So, really, either will do... but please pay attention if you merge anything you want for mimic to make sure it ends up there (one way or another)! sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
