Hello! Yesterday I submitted my first merge request to a KDE software! I forked the repo, applied the edits, committed them and pushed to my fork, and then from gitlab created a merge request. after a few hours, the author pushed something into the master, making my merge request 1 commit behind the master. On the merge request...
Never merge master into a feature branch. It’s called a “wrong-way” merge and it makes the history fucking awful.
You shit in the face of project maintainers when you do this.
You may not care, in fact many don’t. Also people buy timeshares, read celebrity gossip magazines, and vote for scumbags. They are fucking idiots who don’t know what they are doing. So are people who leave wrong-way merges in shared history.
In fact, wrong-way mergers are worse, because you can’t just ignore them - git blame rubs your face in their shit, so they shit in your face forever.
Just don’t fucking do it, OK? Or I will hit you in the throat with a cricket bat soaked in wasps. As a first warning.
