[Freeipa-devel] Feature branches for sub-team efforts

[Petr Vobornik]

Hi List,

we discussed locally a proposal about creating a feature branch for each
sub-team effort in our main git. Currently it would be for the 4 ongoing
refactoring efforts + Simo's work

Why?
It will allow each developer to create a pull request against the
feature branch and thus it will enable iterative development by multiple
devs without affecting other sub-teams. When the feature(refactoring) is
finished, the branch would be rebased on master and merged there. Note:
rebases can be done as needed - e.g. when other subteam finishes its work.

Concerns:
1. Upstream git repo would be full of such branches.
- This can be mitigated by deleting the feature branches when their are
released or merged(up to discussion)

2. Too big traffic on a list.
- IMO we actually want it - progress will be visible to others


Naming:
I propose:
  refactoring-XXX
  feature-XXX

Thoughts? Anyone against?
