[Freeipa-devel] FreeIPA 4.2 Alpha preparations

[Ludwig Krispenz]

Hi,

I think you did not yet (want) to push patch0014 about one directional 
segments.
In that case we should add something that the addition of one 
directional segments id not recommended (failure in some cases to chheck 
duplicates or removing agreements when deleting a merged segment).
