Just a git/github question for the future: when Mael has a set of files that are polished enough for a pull request, will it be better to start a new branch that is a clone of Stefan's main branch, and add these new files to the new branch, for a cleaner commit tree? How do you proceed usually?
I think there is a lot to be said for a clean commit, especially if you can avoid large binary files (like the Lena he checked in). So, yes, I'd create a new branch, cherry pick, merge, rebase, go crazy until the thing looks good, and then do a pull request. Hope that's what you were asking :) Cheers Stéfan
