llvm dev - Feb 2011 - [LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] Reminder: LLVM 2.9 Branching in One Week

This is a reminder that we will be branching for LLVM 2.9 in one week! 

	07:00:00 p.m. Sunday March 6, 2011 PST / 03:00:00 a.m. Monday March 7, 2011 GMT

What this means for you:

Please keep a watch on all of your patches going into mainline. And pay close
attention to the buildbots and fix any issues quickly.

Also, please try to finish up any last minute feature work. While it won't
be the last time to submit a patch for a work-in-progress feature, the more work
and testing that can be done before the branching means that the release
verification process will go that much more smoothly.

LLVM 2.9 is going to be an exciting release. It marks the end of an era in some
respects, but the beginning of many new ones to come! :-)

Hi Bill,
Will the 2.9 branch be reflected in the git mirrors?

Thanks,
Chad

I really, really hope this is the case.  The official git mirror
documentation says it is only trunk because the current branching scheme
in not suitable for git.  I don't understand why that would be but I'm
not a git-svn expert.

My very short reading of the git-svn manpage makes me think a git-svn
branch from the git mirror would make this happen.  So maybe the svn
branch should be created that way?

                                -Dave

Small correction: The branching will happen at 7PM today.

Please watch the build bots like a hawk. :-)
