Re: [linuxtools-dev] Proposal: Update to Git branching policy


Thanks for proposing this, Severin.  In general I like it.  My only
concern is the difference between features and tags for releases.  Will
people be confused by released/{stable-,}0.9 being the maintenance
branch for 0.9 micro releases?

[...]

Having said that, keeping "stable-x" branches and tags as they are now
and allowing feature branches of the form
"features/component/my-cool-feature" is fine as well.


I like the idea of keeping the stable stuff as is. People already understand this model and there will be no confusion or explanation needed. The rest of it could be kept under feature/ or experimental/ maybe with the name of the creator prefixed so you know whom to ask for more info. So experimental/sami-my-cool-feature.

One thing to keep in mind is that the more complicated the final scheme is the less encouraged people will be to create experimental branches.
