While we're on the topic: when we send you tip urgent fixes, we base each branch off of the current -rc, put the urgent fixes ontop, test, ... and send them to you in a week's time, roughly. Now, after you've pulled, we could fast-forward the urgent branch to the next -rc where new fixes come - and I do that most of the time - or we could not do that because of, as you say, if there's no really good reason to fast-forward (important other fix, new functionality from the newest -rc a patch needs, yadda yadda) then those urgent branches do not necessarily have to be fast-forwarded but simply get more fixes applied ontop. Right, that makes sense. Oh, and I'm sure if a branch is based on what looks like a random point but there's a good explanation accompanying it why it is based on that random point, then I guess that's perfectly fine too. Thx. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
