Generate your branch and I'll copy it over.

Comment 6

[Dimi Lee [:dimi]]

Hi Michael,
I would like to have a branch from
git://www.codeaurora.org/platform/external/libnfc-nci with refs/tags/android-4.4.4_r2

But should we consider about the branch naming in b2g repository ? Because I will update some patches after branch is created and those patches will for shinano only based on comment 6 in bug 1136512

You will need to create a corresponding change in the manifest to switch to the new branch. Look at the naming conventions there, pick a name, create a PR to update the manifest, and request review from gerard-majax.

Looks good, what is the status on this tree, can we safely default to it right now without breaking builds ?

The branch is not yet created, but once it is created, we can default to it without breaking builds.

Do you mind creating it now, before that I review?

I don't think dimi has commit access to the repo. The details of the branch he wants is in comment 6.

I am going to do it in bug 1136512, do you think it would be better do it here ?

Comment 17

[Dimi Lee [:dimi]]

There is discussion about whether we should maintain our own repository for libnfc-nci or not in 	bug 1136512, The fix would be handled in that bug when we have made decision.
