git workflow - merging upwards

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I read through gitworkflows and want to use the Merge Upwards rule in my projects:

"Always commit your fixes to the oldest supported branch that require them. Then (periodically) merge the integration branches upwards into each other."

This looks great but I have some trouble in the case if I want to have
a change in an older branch and don't want to propagate the change to
the newer branches. Let's say I have a v1.1 and a v1.2 and now a have
a bug fix/workaround which only affects version v1.1 but not v1.2. If
I commit to v1.1 then the periodical merge would merge the change to v1.2 which is what I don't want.

Any ideas/workarounds for that problem?
