Hello,
99f28d0 Merge branches 'master' and 'master' of git://anongit.kde.org/digikam
and
2ea3bd8 Merge branch 'master' of git://anongit.kde.org/digikam
Please avoid that. The history becomes unreadable and if you merge a feature
branch with a lot of commits it becomes very difficult to find regressions
with git bisect, because it cannot descent into the branch that was merged.
Therefore:
- always use "git pull --rebase" when you update from origin,
- if you accitendally forgot, use "git rebase origin/<branchname>" before "git
push origin <branchname>" to clean up.
regards,
matthias
