If the #3's and #4's (or anyone else for that matter) were to have thier own
fork of the area they are involved with, and the #2's (and only if needed
the #1's) could "git cherry-pick" from these forks (after discussion,
prodding, tweaking etc. and final agreement) with a couple of mouse clicks
that would be nice ....
Github has automated pull requests, fork queues, an integrated issues
system, configurable post commit hooks, comments on commits, wiki pages (for
your personal dev-blog), on-line editing files, etc etc --> Github rocks,
just have a look at https://github.com/features/projects
</shameless plug>
Just my EUR 0.02
Kind regards,
Bert Timmerman.
