Umm, the spacing code overhaul *did* start off on a separate branch. IIRC Joe worked on it there for 3 or 4 months before it was merged. > As I suggested this summer, the new Fedora branching model looks > pretty interesting to me: > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Branched I skimmed the article, but I didn't see anything interesting.

I'm certain that he will do a fine job of cherry-picking patches, taking 2-5 hours a week of his time. That's time that he's not writing code, review patches, helping new contributors, or doing other things like his actual day job or spending time with his family. I don't feel at all good about dumping this task on him. I seriously think that most people are underestimating the amount of work it will be. Hopefully I'm wrong. I still haven't spent the time to understand the git branching/merging stuff, so maybe it will be a breeze. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
