@guewen You have a point. A workaround is to require porting work (if
any) to go in a second commit.
We should weight this disadvantage against the #2 disadvantage with the
extra work needed to check that changes in the previous major version
are forward ported.
IMO #3 is still safer.

unported modules.

Sorry, I didn't understand. Doesn't my example do  that?
Or you mean porting modules in the 8.0 "__unported__" sirectory?
Those are to be ported from 7.0 instead of 8.0: `git checkout 7.0 --
module_name`
