    Hello,

    is there a general recommendation regarding keeping git release
    branches
    separate vs merged? I have been keeping mine separate. Originally to
    avoid release and changelog conflicts when cherry-picking, but I got
    used to it and kept doing it after converting to %autorelase and
    %autochangelog.
    Recently one of my packages got it branches merged by a provenpackager
    doing a deps rebuild. If there is no policy to merge, this is
    disappointing as force-pushes as not allowed and branches once merged
    cannot be unmerged. I know this is just a cosmetic issue, but choices
    made by the primary maintainers should be respected IMO.


It's up to the maintainers, but it's also hard to determine what the maintainer's intentions are for those sorts of things, especially if you're scripting a rebuild across 100s of packages for a bump.

As both a maintainer and a proven packagers I tend to just assume the person has the best intentions of the project in mind.


In this case defaulting to cherry-picking would be a safer bet. Branches unintentionally separated can be merged, but branches unintentionally merged cannot be unmerged.

Best regards,
Julian
