Would this allow setting up a project-default merge configuration for
contributors that defaulted to --humble? Not sure if that is useful or
not, but it at least seems safer than trying to default to doing reset
--hard after every merge.

Then you cannot tell them to use "pull --humble" either, can you?

Not seeing any merit in the proposal (yet).

Merge option suggestion (dictator, humble)

2012-10-16 Thread 乙酸鋰
Hi,

I would like to suggest 2 merge options
--dictator   use all my changes
--humble   use all their changes

These allows to produce a fast-forward commit, without resolving any conflicts.
Sometimes, someone did something completely wrong, so the commit needs
to be ignored.
I cannot tell everyone in the world to run git fetch followed by git
reset --hard.
