#8188 — How to put experimental upload into git

Hello,

I'd like to upload the newest python-llfuse release to 
experimental first.

Are there any best practices for handling this on the git side? I 
could imagine:

 * Don't commit anything to git at all (it would only be a single 
 commit 
   for the upload), commit when uploading to unstable.

 * Commit regularly, with the upload to unstable becoming a 
 descendant 
   of the upload to experimental.

 * Commit to a new branch that then becomes dangling, because the 
 next 
   upload to unstable descends from the most-recent unstable 
   upload rather than from experimental.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
-Nikolaus

I haven't done this specifically, but I have used branches w/git-dpm.  I can't
say if been particularly successful at it for more complex (long-running)
cases.  But your case sounds relatively simple so I'd probably do what you
suggest above.

Cheers,

I think it's perfectly reasonable to have experimental uploads like this
in master. If you need to do another unstable upload that precedes it
(which seems rare in these cases), you can always go back and start a
diverging branch.
