That way the choice for >the right bracnch is scriptable. To make this convention future-proof, it would be best to also allow a scheme where the master is targeted for phpng and a special branch is for php 5.x. Obvious name for the 5.x branch: phpog. Then you get something like this. Compiling for php7: use the phpng branch if it exists, otherwise master. Compiling for php5.x: use the phpog branch if exists, otherwise master. If you think this is a good idea, how can we go futher? Jan PS for Pierre: you expressed some concerns about extension development for phpng in earlier stages. Would this be a way to go?
