<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I wanted to point out that the VTK topic stage is available for use to anyone with push access to VTK's main git repository. At present there is just one integration branch (master), and next will be added in the near future. You can push topic branches to the topic stage, and using the simple command line interface you can merge those topic branches into VTK's master branch.</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git#Topic_Stage">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git#Topic_Stage</a></div><div><br></div><div>This is the only way to make merge commits in VTK, at present this is an optional step for those wishing to use it. Now would be a great time to start using the topic stage, and let us know of any issues you encounter. CMake and Titan are already using the topic stage with master and next, if you are curious to see how this is being employed elsewhere.</div>
