OK, that's understandable. What I'd like to avoid -- as much as feasible -- is
having so much of a custom merge process, apart from what most other projects
using Git do, that it becomes difficult to teach newcomers about our process.
I've used Git in many scenarios, on many projects, but some of the practices
we're using here for Emacs development I've never seen before. This simply
makes me wonder how much of that difference is truly necessary, or is a result
of having evolved to this point from CVS and then Bazaar.
