[Qgis-developer] Adding branch protection to github?

[Larry Shaffer]

Hi,

Seems like all protections (against force push, deleting and failing tests)
are a good fit.

There may be instances where some tests are failing on Mac, due to an
oddity with that platform and not with the actual code per se, i.e. the
test needs updated for Mac or some Mac-specific bit needs added to source.
In light of such cases, it might be best to not require that all tests pass
for the Merge button to be enabled, or it may force some devs to wait until
Mac-specific issues are addressed first.

If we if strictly enforce all tests pass, maybe there is a way to tell
Travis that a failure on one of the test platforms is non-critical (Mac),
but a failure on another (Linux) is. ??
