Floating vs. Fixed based on GitFlow

[danielmarbach]

I had to chance to talk to @jeremydmiller in RL. I'm honored. Here is the summary of the idea I gave him during a tube ride:

It would be extremely helpful if ripple could detect based on the GitFlow on what branch you are and then automatically fix all the dependencies. I would suggest the following model:

• Treat fixed dependencies always as fixed no matter on which branch you are.
• For develop branch floating dependencies remain floating.
• When you merge on master/release-* or any other considered stable branch ripple could turn the floating dependencies into fixed. With that approach when I checkout a release branch some time later to do a bug fix and don't run into the risk of ripple downloading the newest version of some dependency which might be incompatible with my source code written at the time of creating the release branch.

Here is code that shows how to use libgit to detect on which branch you are running.

Thoughts?

We're already doing that:

(that's a hack though)

Here is the issue for it:

And I can add that the "concept" works flawlessly.
