 Hi,

 Any plans of adding merge requests to branches?  I think it would be good
 to at least have the option.  Github allows for this so thought it would be
 a good thing to have since some teams use this as a form of telling other
 team members hey I have these changes I want to merge in can someone review
 them.  Thoughts?


Jay,
I'm assuming you mean submitting a merge request to another branch in the
same repository? If so: that's a really nice idea. In fact, I'm thinking
that requiring that someone make a server clone of a repository to submit a
merge request is wrong and results in a lot of zombie clones that noone
uses. You may know that a merge request already exists as a ref in the
repository the merge request should go into, so there really is no need to
have a server clone to submit a merge request. Expect to see something
along these lines in a few months (inshallah...)

Cheers,
- Marius

Re: [gitorious] Merge Requests for Branches

Hi Marius,

Yes I mean submitting a merge request to another branch in the same 
repository.  For our case it would be a remote branch in repositoryA and I 
want to submit a merge request from my remote branch to master on 
repositoryA.  I agree that having all these extra clones is extra overhead 
that isn't needed so having this feature for cleanup as well as nice 
process to follow would be nice.

Thanks,
Jay
