   > @ctubbsii Sorry...yes, I was trying to stave off the bit rot that was 
setting in relative to master. What is the preferred mechanism to keep a PR 
up-to-date, or is that not desired?
   
   It's not a problem. If it's not likely to cause a merge conflict, it's okay 
if the merge-base is stale.
   
   If it's likely to cause a problem (as you identify it was and I take your 
word for it), either a rebase and force push or merging the master branch onto 
this branch are both acceptable options. I think it might be preferred to do 
the latter, because it can be easier to see what changed from the previous 
reviews. Merging master onto the working branch might have fewer side-effects 
if we squash the PR once it is accepted (and we usually do).
   
   I wasn't necessarily saying you did something wrong... just trying to 
communicate the consequences for reviewers, in case you weren't already aware 
(because some contributors aren't... and I don't know who benefits from the 
advice and who doesn't). As long as you are aware of the consequences, I'll 
trust you to act on your own best judgement. :smiley_cat:
