Why should that be? 'next' clearly states the aim (it is to serve as an integration testing area for the possible new features for the next release). Quoting http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/113812 (1) Name your (eh, "my") branch just like you name your function. You probably learned in programming 101 course the importance of giving a good name to your functions. The same principle applies. When I see kb/checkout-optim branch, I know it is about optimizing the checkout command, and it came from Kjetil Barvik. I can tell that jc/maint-1.6.0-read-tree-overlay is about the bugfix to the "overlay" feature of read-tree command, and the fix would apply as far back as the 1.6.0.X series, not just the current maintenance. -- Nanako Shiraishi http://ivory.ap.teacup.com/nanako3/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
