Hi Hans, As we've agreed that the idea is to allow multiple people to commit at v4l-utils, today, I've added 3 commits at v4l-utils tree (2 keycode-related and 1 is .gitignore stuff). One of the reasons were to test the viability for such commits. I've temporarily enabled the same script that we use for upstream patches to generate patches against linuxtv-commits ML. >From my experiences, I have some notes: 1) git won't work fine if more than one is committing at the same tree. The reason is simple: it won't preserve the same group as the previous commits. So, the next committer will have troubles if we allow multiple committers; 2) people need to pull/rebase before pushing, if we fix the group permission issue above. I've enabled a hook that is meant to avoid rebase upstream, to prevent troubles if people push something with -f. I hope it works fine. 3) the mailbomb script uses the from: as the email author. However, the linuxtv-commits is limited to posts from a few specific authors. So, I need to add more emails there or change the policy, if we decide to use such script. I'll keep the script disabled for now, until I have some time to check it. In summary, for now, I think that the better is to post all patches to v4l-utils at ML and ask Hans to merge them. -- Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
