I can't believe it's been 4 weeks. It feels like it was ages/yesterday when we moved. :)
First, I hope people are not regretting letting/having me make this migration. I know there have been some things to work through (and others still to come), but I hope this is all a net positive (either now or in the near future).
Second, I wanted to get initial feedback on things we can easily tweak:
- Requiring Travis to pass (I *really* don't want to turn this off as we already had a broken build when I temporarily turned it off at someone's request when Travis was backed up from the AWS S3 outage; I also don't plan to make AppVeyor required unless there's a way to make it be skipped for doc-only changes)
- Cherry-picking working out? (We can go back to forward merging if people really want to, but I think long-term cherry-picking will allow for more automation)
Now that I'm trying it out, the effect of cherry-picking on Misc/NEWS is catastrophic. hg wasn't very friendly (producing obviously spurious conflicts), but at least it was reasonably easy to correct the situation. git seems to leave Misc/NEWS in an extremely messy state. For example, here is the merge diff I'm getting right now: https://gist.github.com/pitrou/37dd07d0136644266ca012e979c27847
Good luck spotting devising how to fix Misc/NEWS after that (apart from retrieving the previous version and adding the NEWS entry manually)...
