OK. It's obvious to me that you have a good workflow and test system
to keep the error ratio extremely low.

I mean, the branch will not be rebased to fixup errors in the middle.
Like the Linus' tree, and the tip/net trees.  For these branches that
cannot afford to rebase, bug fixes always get appended rather than get
folded into the buggy commit.

For the non-rebaseable branches, I'll first build test the branch HEAD,
and iff it has build errors, go back to locate the first commit that
introduces the errors. This way, it can avoid sending out pointless
warnings about known bugs that are eventually fixed up in the HEAD.

Thanks,
Fengguang
