My Arm32 branch will quickly go stale and will need to be rebased and tested. Can GitHub Actions do that for me automatically?
Thanks to some targetted optimisations in the script which manages Relocatable OCaml’s various branches, I’d vastly improved the turn-around time when making changes to the patch-set and propagating them through the various tests and backports. On Tuesday night, the entire set of branches was green in CI (they’re sat here with green check marks and everything).
