Notes on Ceph repositories

Special branches

• master: current tip (integration branch)
• Release branches (for example luminous) corresponding to the releases listed at releases

Rules

The source repos are all on github.

• Any branch pushed to ceph-ci.git will kick off builds that will generate packages and repositories on shaman.ceph.com. Try not to generate unnecessary load. For private, unreviewed work, only push to branches named wip-*. This avoids colliding with any special branches.
• Nothing should reach a special branch unless it has been reviewed.
• Preferred means of review is via github pull requests to capture any review discussion.
• For multi-patch series, the pull request can be merged via github, and a Reviewed-by: … line added to the merge commit.
• For single- (or few-) patch merges, it is preferable to add the Reviewed-by: directly to the commit so that it is also visible when the patch is cherry-picked for backports.
• All backports should use git cherry-pick -x to capture which commit they are cherry-picking from.
