What > is the justification for *not* [using "master" for named releases]? As far as I'm concerned, it subverts the meaning of "master". That's just one opinion, though. Well, it's possible to have a repo w/o "master" (e.g., all my local repos), so there is really no inherent meaning tied to that branch name. I prefer branch discipline ((re-)naming, operation, role in the DAG) to be explicit, and like the scheme on the referenced page very much, the only exception being the name "master". If that were renamed "public" or "archive", for example, then it would be perfect (IMHO). This way, the name reflects the function, and we sidestep the potential confusion of "conventional meanings" (insert "so many standards" smirk, here). =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 (if you're human and you know it) read my lisp: (responsep (questions 'technical) (not (via 'mailing-list))) =3D> nil --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlMCBesACgkQZwMiJEyAdQKqCQCfVeI526rPDsMt5mdB8Q+3CyvR NywAoOlKy+dKb58MTlYE+EJU1XdP/U/d =fIN7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
