Hi gents |

After yet another discussion about git in the #gentoo-dev channel tonight, the |
| 4 |
topic of merge commits came up for the umpteenth time. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
We all seem to agree merge commits are really bad design, add clutter to the |
| 7 |
log graph after a while and should be banned altogether from reaching the |
| 8 |
central repository. |

|
| 10 |
As of now, no policy is in place yet to keep developers from pushing merge |
| 11 |
commits. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
What is the correct course of action? I would very much like it to be worded in |
| 14 |
a document (GLEP and/or Wiki page) so that confusion is avoided and we all are |
| 15 |
on the same page on this topic. |

Cheers, |
