[mantisbt-dev] Github notifications

[P R. <pa...@ma...>]

Apologies if anyone got some github notifications this morning - atrol got a
few and gave me a poke so I was able to stop script that was generating
them.

 

I've got a simple script that I basically use to automate some merging and
testing



In essence, I was feeding in a batch of updates to update sql format for the
db layer for 2.x to keep it up to date, and trying to do a local build to
test.

 

Usually this works quite well, and I've used it multiple times before - it
basically takes a change, pushes it into a new local branch, runs a build
and then tidies up at end if all builds pass, or leaves files if they don't.
This was working its way through ~500 changes: 


Anyway,

What happened here is

I had a pending change for master in my local master
(https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/378 ) for pushing. 

 

So instead of pushing locally, it pushed for a new remote PR (hence as atrol
spotted, the reason for 2 commits in the branch)

 

On the bright side, if atrol hadn't have spotted it, there were a
considerable number more branches that would have been generated.
