RFC: updated workflow [WAS: Re: git+patch workflow]



Hey

because of Oswald Buddenhagen's post I rethinked the workflow and discussed a 
better workflow with slavaz.

Please comment:
- every patch has to be acked twice
 --> if patch is broken a rev2 has to be created and be discussed
- a acked patch has to be applied in a branch of master and needs to be tested 
there by different people. (Everybody who has tested it should report to the 
ticket)
- after some testing in the branch we merge into the master branch (and the 
ticket is closed)

This is pretty much the old stuff above (now we create a branch for every 
ticket (proposed branchname 1234_something_describing).


When we want to do a release:

Simply do a tag on mc-4.6.2~rc1 
 --> Test it and if it is okay tag also mc-4.6.2
 --> Otherwise mc-4.6.2~rc2
 --> Test it and if it is okay tag here mc-4.6.2
 --> ...

In the meantime new patches can be discussed and tested as written above.. 
After the release we rebase the branches and merge them into master.

Please comment.

Greetings
Winnie

ps:  If this is okay I'll delete the stable branch and update/write a bit 
about this workflow to our wiki)
