I have just pushed 961bfa8, which describes when and how to merge or rebase work before pushing to perl5.git. I would appreciate if other committers would review it for accuracy and clarity. In an attempt to produce a "can't make non-ff push" error, I accidentally introduced a completely pointless commit, and then another to revert it. I apologize. It's actually a bit funny, though. While re-reading perlgit.pod to make these changes, I made a few cleanup commits (a few sections were duplicated within the document!). Then, to get the error, I decided to move my head back a few commits so simulate work against an old blead. Unfortunately, I moved it back just as many commits as I hade made while cleaning up, and the push worked. Lesson learned: next time, simulate against my own darn projects. -- rjbs
