This means that in the case in point (a concurrent commit to the
mainline) the tagged revision *will* be a merge turd and *will*
include code that is undocumented in the release (at best, and in the
process you suggest, the tag *will* include code that is not in the
tarballs).
No, thank you.
You could do all that at once in your local copy, and then push.
I really don't understand what your point is. We have the free
fire
zone over on the xemacs branch. Why does it matter if the xemacs-beta
branch has a ceasefire for a few hours? It only affects you and Vin.
I guess I don't understand what your point is. Weren't you asking how
to avoid the "cease-fire"? I have no objection to not doing anything
with xemacs-beta while you're cutting the release---I'm currently
stalled anyway because of the search crash.
