This makes sense to me. Personally, I think rebases are easy in the vast majority of the cases (specificially for our gentoo tree, where actual conflicts are often unlikely). However, for long-running branches (either in time, which I think doesn't happen that often, or in work), making an explicit merge could still make sense. (I guess this is slightly different than somehow limiting the length of the left-sized twig.) Cheers, Dirkjan
