auto Patchy-staging merge will no longer be running

[James]

Hello,

Some of you may not not know but I have had a 'server' of some shape or 
form set up in my plane of work that, every hour, checks our git staging 
branch for any new commits and then, on discovery, merges it/them to 
master - keeping everything in sync.

However, due to circumstances beyond my control I have had to stop this 
server and I am no longer able to offer the 'auto merging' service (aka 
Patchy Merge) anymore.

I and other devs can (and have) merged staging manually - from our 
laptops - when we can, but as of today there will be no 'auto merging' 
running on my side.

So if you see staging ahead of master for a longer time than normal, 
then it probably isn't because of a compile error but because someone 
needs to just run the 'merge script' (which can be found in 
lilypond-extra repo).

Patch testing and Patch emails will carry on as normal, just not during 
UK office hours (i.e. early morning or late in the evening unless I am 
on holiday) so again, if you don't see a patch being tested in a timely 
manner, don't panic I'll get it to eventually.

Thanks for your understanding.

James
