Branches are cheap, but the way these things work if these aren't cleaned up manually, eventually the project will move off git and github and throw away its history. All this has happened before, and all this will happen again . I've worked on enough Github hosted projects where all committers use branches and only branches to be reasonably confident that the problem is not the use of branches. Branches are how git works, and they work just fine. Maven does seem to have a lot of old tooling that needs work, though I'm not sure who has the knowledge or permissions to do that. But meanwhile adding more layers of rules for developers to follow instead of fixing broken tooling — like apparently whatever is sending commit messages to the mailing list — is not the way to go. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elh...@ibiblio.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
