And, as in these examples, you can nominate the commit for the older +branch in addition to the more recent branch, or nominate the commit +exclusively for the older branch. + +This "CC" syntax for patch nomination will cause patches to automatically be +copied to the mesa-stable@ mailing list when you use "git send-email" to send +patches to the mesa-dev@ mailing list. Also, if you realize that a commit +should be nominate for the stable branch after it has already been commited, +you can send a note directly to the mesa-stable@lists.freedesktop.org where +the Mesa stable-branch maintainers will receive it. Be sure to mention the +commit ID of the commit of interest (as it appears in the mesa master branch). <h2>Cherry-picking candidates for a stable branch</h2> |
