Hello, git revert for merges will mark merged files as deleted and commit them as if they would have been deleted, but that is for sure never what anybody would expect and has deleted many files unintentionally and unrecognized in our repo shortly. I have reproduced this issue in a very small example repo here: https://gitlab.com/electrocnic/git-revert-destructive-behaviour/tree/master Expected behaviour would be: A reverted merge should never mark any files or directories as "deleted", and merging the branch where the other merge has been reverted should not lead to the deletion of those files. I classify this behaviour as really really destructive and clearly a bug, even if this behaviour is by intention. It should not be by intention then.. Best regards, Andreas
