All-

A lot of the perceived problems come from one developer
assuming a work flow for a branch not originated by them.

For example LLDF was a one-off branch that was intended
to provide visibility and opportunity for developers to
see and/or help with fixing the 64bit index issues.  In
hindsight, that was not the best way to go about this given
some of the ensuing confusion.

A better solution would be to clarify a good git workflow
standard for PDL, document things, discuss what makes
sense on the pdl-devel list, and then implement appropriately.

Dear PDL devs,
I would like to get consensus on this: should merge commits be forbidden?
In my recent experience with core-cleanup and LLDF, their use by some devs has led to serious confusion, especially when the merge commit has led to changes being silently dropped despite the commits being in the history (example: the fix for propogate->propagate). Therefore I propose that the repo be configured to forbid such, so that it will force people to rebase their changes locally and get them to be “right” locally before they enter the shared repo.
What do you guys think?
Best regards,
Ed
