And if so, what's the appropriate branch? branches/pd? branches / pd / pd-0.40-3?
I'd say, that as we now have no ACL anymore, care should be taken when working on the Pd sources itself. So far, Miller had his own section that was read-only for others. I think, as the mechanism to protect Miller's part is gone now, we need a policy instead how to achieve a similar kind of protection, and we probably need it soon. My suggestion would be to agree that only Miller commits to the "trunk" of "pd" and to create some similarily protected area for Miller's release branches.
I don't have a problem with the pumpkin holder approach at all (which is why I didn't just commit this to trunk)
I would like to see tiny (but important) patches go to latest unprotected branch, wherefrom miller can just cherry pick changes from branches to trunk, so:
[someDeveloper]:
svn checkout branches/buggyBranch [edits s_inter.c] svn commit -m "I fixed bug 37654" revision 20
[miller]:
svn diff -rHEAD s_inter.c [oooh yummy change] svn merge -r 20:HEAD svn://puredata/branches/buggyBranch [slurp]
In the meantime, what branch do people think bugfixes like this one should go into?
