hi all,
any opinion to change the default branch from "master" to "develop"?
with the boost branching model all contributions via github's pull requests apparently have to go to "develop" rather than going directly into "master", so this should be the default destination for pull requests. github allows to set the default branch [1] ... not sure if this has any other side effects, but i'd vote for changing the default to "develop".
thoughts?
This is a very interesting thread, but I just don't have enough experience with pull requests to form an opinion yet. Worse yet, many other Boost contributors don't have pull request experience either. I'm starting to get pull request for libraries I maintain, and will process them ASAP to develop experience. It looks like other libraries are also starting to get pull requests. The opinions of people who are relatively new to this list are also important, but since this question doesn't seem to require immediate action I think it is just going to have to bake a awhile longer. Thanks, --Beman
