Hi all, I think we should discuss and agree on a set of tags to use in our backports to stable trees.
Specifically, I would like to see a tag that specifies the id of the original commit, like "master commit" that Jan is using today. I would prefer if the tag didn't have any spaces, thus, I suggest master-commit-id or upstream-commit-id (that's what I use in the qemu-xen trees because it wouldn't be clear what "master" is in that context). Whatever is chosen should be documented under docs. Moreover, I think we should start using tags in our staging commits which specify to which trees a given commit should be backported to as soon as it passes the push gate. I suggest to use something similar to the Linux kernel: CC: sta...@xenproject.org [4.2+] or CC: sta...@xenproject.org # 4.2+ But anything else that allows us to specify a range of stable trees would be fine by me. This is the first step toward backport automation. What do you think?
