sorry - I should have said something like: The workflow is: (1). verify what you are merging git checkout master git log ..branch git diff ..branch (2). merge the branch git merge (3). Build and make sure it builds ./configure && make all test (4). Now push to remote git push So the issue comes up when: (1) verify is not done and (2) merge messages are not read. And the fix relies on doing (3) build & reading messages. To me this is not really a fix [i.e fix for skipping a step to do another step. fix for not reading a message to to read another message] Obviously everyone wants (1) and (3) to be automated - but we currently don't have that..
