If so, we will disable it.
Yeah, I maintain *.v<idx> branches around. Each time I need to send a new version of a patchset I do:
git checkout -b base.branch.v<idx> base.branch
and then continue working on
git checkout base.branch
for the new version. :)
I try to make sure to only push base.branch to git.kernel.org once I know it builds fine. Before that I only push to other code-hosting platforms. One of the reasons being that I try to avoid upsetting the various build bots. :)
