This really sucks. If testing was automated, we could have a staging branch where maintainers would push patches, they'd get tested automatically and then graduate to master. The workflow would look something like git fetch git checkout staging git rebase origin/staging <apply patches, pull trees> git push staging <wait> <staging gets merged into master autoamatically, or you get an email from the test system> If testing cannot be automated, perhaps a lock around the tree would help. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
