Message-ID: <20140122051133.GB4762@adacore.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) X-SW-Source: 2014-01/txt/msg00840.txt.bz2 We are already rejecting merge commits on branch master. I propose we do the same for the gdb-7.7 branch, and generally speaking on all GDB release branches, just to make sure that people don't accidently push a merge when they meant to cherry-pick. Thoughts? At the moment, it appears that this can only be done by adding a "BRANCH_NAME = true" line in the repository's config file. I can do that. -- Joel
