Dear Daniel,
thanks a lot for your contributions to gnucash.
Concerning the git commits I have a small wish: Could you try to send as
little merge commits as possible in your pull requests? In particular, your
recent test_gnc_setlocale patch branch contains a merge commit merging
upstream/maint. This shouldn't go into the gnucash git. Instead, please rebase
your contribution branch on top of most recent master, so that your change is
only exactly one commit (or multiple linear commits for complex contributions)
but does not contain extra merges. The extra merges are IMHO super confusing
in the git history but bring completely zero knowledge gain.
Contributions which consist of exactly one commit IMHO should always be merged
as fast-forward (or rebase) and not as merge commits, but that's the
responsibility of the gnucash maintainers. Your responsibility would be to
send in pull requests which don't contain unneeded merge commits. Thanks a
lot!
And thanks again for your contribution.
Best Regards,
Christian
