Subject: Why the default action for pull is merge, but not rebase?
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 12:46:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTinLbaE6He-bxA_+CT6J5uWmZSgodGs6SXO7eqnr@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm just curious if there are some downsides that i don't see?
For me it seems to have much more sense to automatically rebase vs
merge when you do pull. The diverged history will become "straighter"
and cleaner, if the history is not diverged then it will be
fast-forward. So, why not to rebase?

Thanks for your time in advance,

Eugene
