I see nothing terribly messy there. You will see very similar pictur= e when someone merges their local feature branch, and then pushes upstream. Maybe you don't like merge-commits in general, but then it's a different discussion altogether. > IMO we should encourage people to use fetch+rebase instead of `pull= ', Why not "pull --rebase" instead? Or even tell them how to configure Git to do the "--rebase" part automatically? People shouldn't need t= o learn yet another command, just for that. > (I'll not dare to ask why, mysteriously, the emacs-diffs mailing li= st > abstained from mentioning my commit.) It didn't. It's just that this is your first time, and emacs-diffs i= s a moderated list, so I needed to approve your messages, just this once. Part of your welcome party, I guess.
