Feedback on scratch/igc Branch

Feedback on scratch/igc Branch

[Eval EXEC]

Hello,

Thank you for your excellent work on the scratch/igc branch. Over the
past few days, I have been using this branch extensively for various
tasks including reading and sending mail with mu4e, programming with
lsp-mode and rust-analyzer , and managing my notes using org-roam and
org-journal. I am pleased to report that the scratch/igc branch is
remarkably stable and performs exceptionally well.

Could you please share the next steps for the scratch/igc branch?
Additionally, do you have any estimated timeline for when it will be
merged into the master branch?

I greatly appreciate your efforts and am looking forward to the future
developments. 

Best regards,

Eval Exec

Thanks, this is very good news.

Keep using the branch on the various platforms and different build
configurations, to reveal the issues that are still left to be handled
and fixed.  Also, we need better GC debugging tools and means, to ease
the investigation of problems we bump into.

It's IMO too early to talk about landing this on master.  We still
have unresolved issues, like what to do with signals delivered to
Emacs when MPS is collecting garbage and the arena is locked.  We also
need to decide whether we want to fork MPS and make changes in it on
our own or not.

I see no scratch/igc branch, how do I get it?

"git pull" followed by "git checkout scratch/igc".

$ git checkout scratch/igc
error: pathspec 'scratch/igc' did not match any file(s) known to git

I cannot see that branch.

Perhaps a "git fetch --all" could help?

Then your clone of the Emacs Git repository is incomplete, for some
reason.

The error message gives me the impression that git is trying to
interpret "scratch/igc" as a file path and not as a branch. So
that might be due to some uncommon/unexpected configuration on
OP's side.

Jean-Louis: what does the command

  git branch -a

say on your side?

You might have more luck by stating explicitly which branch you
want to track with

  git checkout -b scratch/igc --track origin/scratch/igc

(I'm now assuming that your upstream repo is called "origin" on
your side, which is convention, but no law).
