Re: Git transition workflow

[Ashton Kemerling]

Furthermore, the increasing dominance of Github and its
pullrequest+merge workflow proves that merge commits are not a complete
hinderence even on similarly massive projects like RoR. 

While I certainly am in the "I don't like merge commits" camp, I don't
think the presence or absence of merge commits is really worth humming
and hawing over a lot, especially if it would delay a git
conversion. I've worked in organizations that allowed them, and worked
in organizations that hated them, and I noticed very little difference
between the two on that front.
