Re: auto branch propagation

[Kesavan T.S]

Hi Mark,
Thanks a lot for your response.I would really appreciate any tips for 
writing a script for auto propagation of a fix in prod level branch to 
future releases. When ever a commit is made I want to look up upstream 
branches for these files  and in a temp directory do a update -j  if the 
merge is successful commit it on the branch otherwise lookup users email and 
send a notification for merge.

Regards,
kesavan
