this repository is a place holder for one-off branches.
The master should be always empty.
You should always use oneoff-ORIGINAL_TAG_NAME-NEW_JIRA
Example:
An one off of the tag HORNETQ_2_2_5_EAP_GA. We have created a one-off JIRA jbpapp_7710, so the branch name will be oneoff-HORNETQ_2_2_5_EAP_GA-JBPAPP_7710.
Notice that I'm only using the character - twice separating the branch-name.
This is to make clear what branch it was made off.
Notice: if later you need to create another one-off in top of 2.2.5.EAP.GA, you need to do it again from 2.2.5.eap.ga and import the commits you need. You never do a one-off of a one-off branch (that would be really messy and hard to manage).
You just push straight from your working copy
You add the remote:
git remote add one-offs [email protected]:hornetq/hornetq-oneoffs.git
git push one-offs BRANCH-NAME_USING_CONVENTIONS-WITHJIRA
