Instead of hijacking another thread I figured I'd start a new
one. I
tried to push the branch I had made as requested by Jiri, but I don't
appear to have access.
$ git push origin v1.0.2-maint

How do we want to go about actually creating these branches? I make
one everytime I have to backport a fix due to a regression from a
previous release. I'll typically only keep them "maintained" until the
next official release. I wouldn't consider them stable like what Cole
maintains but more like someone ran into an issue and it needed a fix.
So there might be other issues in them that go undiscovered or
unsolved. I just say this because I don't want to clutter the repo
with a lot of useless branches, but again if people think they'd be
useful I'm happy to push them.
I think it is useful to have your branches on the main GIT. Even if
you're only updating them for a while it gives a basis for other
people to collaborate, since many other distros will need the same
bug fixes too.
Ping me on IRC & I'll see about sorting out the hook that prevents
you from pushing
Daniel
