My personal opinion is that maintaining a catalog of undesirable commits<br>
and detection/enforcement logic is not the best use of maintainer time<br>
and will not result in a more efficient system. But if you want to<br>
spend your time on it, give it a shot and maybe others will use it too.<br>

My idea here is (a) create a dotfile in a commit that only gets merged<br>
into next, and (b) add a hook to 'make info' that warns you if that<br>
file is present and your branch isn't named 'next'. This change<br>
doesn't help a maintainer, who knows the workflow and can spot<br>
undesirable commits better than a script, but it does reach out to<br>
developers who, ehm, may not have read the wiki, and warns them as<br>
soon as they start to test their changes on a branch that was based on<br>
'next'.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Cool, that is what I want.</div><div><br></div><div> Matt</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
