I have had my fingers on the respective code in the past. It uses the repository as a read-only resource, with the exception of a) running "git fetch" to get up-to-date branches b) creating and deleting branches called something like test-staging (so that you can reference later which "staging" was actually being tested) and something like test-master-lock which is both used as a lock to stop parallel instances of patchy to run, as well as a reference to the master at the start of the test run. Those separate branches are created right after running git fetch and are later used for pushing the results upstream if the results are ok. So no, there is little point in not using your main git "stash" for this. Apart from it being more up-to-date in its remote branches than you remember, and from two mysterious branches coming and going, it will not be affected. Most particularly your work directory and your checkouts are not being touched. This is for the staging patchy; the Rietveld patchy is a different beast yet. > In the scripts or in a config file? config file as well as LILYPOND_GIT environment variable.

I presume any old command taking standard input should to. Something like cat >> /tmp/patchy-completion-mails or so should likely work. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
