I hope to be able to make a summary of the discussion as best I can.
It may take a bit as there is a lot of mails to read. I agree that a
good summary should come from someone outside the discussion to reduce
emotional bias.

Thanks,
Jake

I would *love* a summary of that discussion, especially since it got
pretty unwieldy (and partially out of hand, but that part probably does
not need a lot of detail apart from the adjective "heated").

Jake, I do not know about your availability, but I would love it if you
could take a stab, as I trust you to be unbiased. I would not trust myself
to be unbiased because (as everybody saw who cared to read) I got a little
bit too emotional and should have stayed more professional.

Thanks,

Yeah sure, we would gladly accept a summary of this discussion.

If you want to take the latest discussions into account, the summary
could be either split into two parts, one for this edition and the
other one for the next edition. Or we could wait and have the whole
summary in the next edition.

Thanks,
Christian.

I don't have a good summary yet, but I think a section about the
discussion regarding the new recreate-merges and rebasing merges
that's been on going might be useful? a lot of that discussion
occurred prior to git-merge (tho it's been ongoing since then?).

Thanks,

Thanks,
Christian.
