Well, sure, my comment is anecdotal. Then there are frozen-trunk
project, likes GCC, where I need
to sit on my adventurous patches while trunk is about to branch. In
such projects, I still push into
trunk first, always. In Qt, I need to spend time thinking where to
push, need to look at commit policy,
and verify my understanding by asking for help. Which is also
anecdotal, maybe it's just me.
