Not quite. I want TopGit to maintain multiple feature branches,
preferrably related.
With "related" I mean that I would like to be able to "fork" a chain of
interdependent feature branches.
TopGit easily support one chain of branches:
upstream + pristine-tar -> master -> build
I want TopGit to additionally support the following:
upstream + pristine-tar -> stable-master -> stable-build
upstream + pristine-tar -> oldstable-master -> oldstable-build
E.g. in addition to TopGit branches t/fix_01 and t/feature_01 I would
want to fork those branches as t_stable/fix_01 and t_stable/feature_01.
I know that I can create all those TopGit branches one by one, but I
would then need to explicitly declare a list of TopGit branches to apply
each time I want to (re)generate a quilt patchlist.
Perhaps what I really am looking for here is something like "tg tag":
git checkout t/fix_01
tg tag t/fix_01 master
git checkout -b t_stable/fix_01 t/fix_01
tg tag -d master
tg tag stable
git checkout stable_build
./debian/rules tg-export tags=stable
...or perhaps this is not relevant upstream to TopGit at all but only to
your packaging of a "tg-export" rule?
