There seems to be quite a bit of merging from master into branches going on in the GHC repos at the moment. This isn't necessarily a good way of using Git as Linus explains in this message:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg39091.html The way I understand it is that Git avoids the performance problems of darcs when branching and merging (by not trying to commute patches), but the price we have to pay for that is the resulting fixed order of patches as well as merge patches cluttering up the history. So, maintaining branches requires a bit more care. Manuel _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list Cvs-ghc@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
