* No way for a developer to request testing results for a specific branch

And against particular branch.

How is "for a specific branch" different from "against a particular branch?" it seems as though you're repeating what I meant to say (?)

My library depend in lib A, B, C. I want to test against new_dev branch of A, HEAD branch of B and 1_33 branch of C.

...

That's what independent versioning should address.

I don't see a relationship between the two issues. The ability to request test results against a specific branch has obvious utility; you can try out changes and see how portable they are without disturbing general test results. Independent versioning, by it self, does not address that need. You'd still need to implement all the same testing infrastructure, so I don't see the relevance here.

Yes. independent versioning has little to do with "testing for a specific branch". But has everything to do with "testing against particular branch" ;) Gennadiy
