Forgot to push asoc-3.8 tag?
Not propagated yet... git request-pull really is buggy in the way it substitutes in a branch for a tag.
I see the tag now, good.
Seriously, this makes too ugly to show up in gitk & co. I don't mind the merge of a few branches. But, this...
Couldn't you digest in a better way?
*sigh* I've been doing this all through this release cycle and now you mention it...
I've accepted your pull requests until now because they were still only reasonably handful number of branches. But, this time is too much. I can't count more than 10.
People are going to bitch whatever happens. You're either going to get a lot of merges which also causes people to get upset or one big merge which causes people to get upset especially if you do the merges as you go so you get what's actually being tested.
Well, it's always a question of balance.
As said, octopus merge of a few branches is fine. It's been done occasionally indeed. But your latest challenge broke the world record in more than double scores. Did you see your tree on gitk? Linus explained that he usually takes a look at gitk after merge, so he'll be certainly amused, too.
I don't really have time to go through and generate a bunch of individual merges right now, perhaps tomorrow.
OK, thanks.
