Subject: Re: Git merge of README and RELEASE_NOTES

HI,

if you have files with conflicts you want to merge, you will have to go by an intermediary branch

This is almost always going to be the case with a release as it take time to vote on and create serval release candidates while develop work continues on in develop.

apparently the RELEASE_NOTES README are the same, you can check that running git diff develop..release4.9 RELEASE_NOTES

Both the README and RELEASE_NOTES are not the same. The develop RELEASE_NOTES still refer to incubator when the 4.9 branch doesn't. The README's differ by a significant amount.

And for the rest, it comes from what I just explained


Then why is the merge of both the README and RELEASE_NOTES incorrect? The procedure as you describe doesn't work and would overwrite more recent changes.

For README for instance it show that this will change:
+       Apache Flex 4.9.1 is a minor update to Apache Flex 4.9.

That's correct.

But also show this will change:
-Getting the latest sources via git
+Getting the latest sources via Subversion

And this:
- http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/3.5/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2 + http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/mac/download/3.4/AdobeAIRSDK.tbz2

And this:
- This version of Apache Flex was certified for use with AIR 3.5, and should + This version of Apache Flex was certified for use with AIR 3.4, and should be compatible with other versions of AIR newer than 3.1. However it hasn't
-        been tested on AIR 3.2, 3.3, 3.6 or 3.7.
+        been tested on AIR 3.2, 3.3 or 3.5.

And this:
- is compatible with versions 10.2 through 11.7. It has been tested with versions 11.1 + is compatible with versions 10.2 through 11.5. It has been tested with versions 11.1

And many other similar changes.

It looks like it's reverting all changes we actually need - this should not happen!

So I ask again why did git do this and more importantly what is the correct process so these changes are not lost.

Thanks,
Justin
