The problem is that the base branch and head branch will probably have diverged by the time someone gets around to handling the PR, so "git pull" will more likely than not end up trying to do a non-ff merge. So I avoid it entirely. vq _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
