[X2Go-Dev] Patch cleanliness (was: Re: libssh changes. Information for package maintainers)

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi Alex,

The patch has an unnecessary patch block in it (extra line feed). This  
brings up a topic about patch cleanliness that becomes important for  
X2Go Client now that we have to maintain two release branches for some  
time...

I have just split up X2Go Client into two branches (main development  
branch on Git master and a release/4.0.1.x Git branch).

Until all current distros have the required libssh patch, I will  
release two versions of X2Go Client (4.0.1.x / Baikal LTS /  
release/4.0.1.x Git branch) and 4.0.2.x (Stable release / Git master).

Completely new features will only go into the Stable release branch  
(4.0.2.x / Git master).

Bugfixes will go into release/4.0.1.x branch and be cherry-picked to  
the master branch.

@Alex and all patch contributors: In order to be able to maintain  
these two release series I need very clean commits/patches on X2Go  
Client code while we are in this dual release phase. I will only  
cherry-pick patches between branches if they are very very clean. This  
means: no indentation changes where it is not necessary, no whitespace  
fixes, no new empty lines, etc.

Thanks!!!

Mike
