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 Counting objects: 30, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads.

[remote rejected] v1.0.2-maint -> v1.0.2-maint (hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://libvirt.org/git/libvirt.git' 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. -- Doug Goldstein
