Has gitflow development stopped? Is support branches gonna be "non-experimental"?

[jeff shanab]

I started using gitflow a month or so ago and ran in to the problem that it does not support long running maintenance branches. It looks like this was discussed and "support" branches were created but all the warnings scare me off. Any chance this will come off this experimental status? and why is it experimental, what goes wrong?

I'm pretty interested in the same topic as well. Is this project still actively supported? Will support branches exit from the experimental state?

Thanks,

There doesn't seem to have been much activity lately thats for sure, but that's also not stopping anyone else from contributing patches and making pull requests.

I would like to know what the state of the python rewrite is at tho - without seeing a clear direction there it's unclear where any patches/new work should really go.

BTW IMHO GITflow rocks! please keep up the great work!

Coming back to the original question.. What is the status of the python re-write? I'm thinking of contributing, and want to start reading the code, but there seems to be no update to the branch after Feb, 2011. Has the community given up on the re-write?

[ke...@welikeinc.com]

I'm curious about this as well. Any update for us?

[Mark Derricutt]

There doesn't seem to be any movement on the python rewrite branch
since Feb last year - there is however continual changes/tweaks on the
main branch tho.
