I noticed that we have a few mononomial branch names. For instance Todd pushed 'Tie-File-strict'. In theory there is nothing wrong with this, but in practice it is asking for trouble with collissions etc, not necessarily knowing who to ask about a branch, etc. At $work we have a rule that all such branches should be binomial, usually with the first component being the "owner" of the branches name/username. Eg a small selection is as follows: ap/baseincguard-old/3 ap/perlfunc-do arc/smaller-toke atoomic/installdocs-man autarch/modernize-perlopentut avar/no-UNIVERSAL-import-routine-TODO avar/perldisthist Most of our branches follow this convention, and we might even have had a push check to prevent pushes that weren't binomial as we copied a lot of our work rules to the perl5 git repo when we hosted it. If so then I assume we lost this when we migrated to github. Personally I think we should follow this convention, and ideally github should enforce the rule. Thoughts? cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Next
