Hello Ralf. Would be ok with you if in the future I create some temporary branches *in the automake official repository* that I can rebase, edit, and delete at will?
I think that keeping future unfinished or experimental work open and public could help speeding up the project advancement, and IMHO it would be more expedient than having to keep track of 3 o 4 versions of the same patch series only through the mailing list archives. Obviously, such "experimental" branches wouldn't be ever merged into master or any other permanent branch, nor into any branch that is planned to be merged into a permanent one. In fact, since rebasings and rewrites are involved, they should never be merged into any other branch, either temporary or permament. For the naming, I'd suggest to use a hierarchy like `GSoC/experimental/NAME'; for example: - GSoC/experimental/awk-tap-parser - GSoC/experimental/more-testcases - ... If you agree, I can start with a temporary branch for the current set of preliminary patches (which still needs documentation and testcases additions); the name might be `GSoC/experimental/custom-test-drivers'. WDYT? Regards, Stefano
