If nothing in 6.2 affects the branch in question, the commits can still be pulled, but you are right. If your main purpose in publishing a branch of someone else's branch is for him to pull it, rebasing doesn't do any good. The author whose branch you forked will need to do a merge at some point anyway, so he might as well pull it from you. But, if the branch you're creating/pushing is the one that you expect to have merged by the release manager, it creates a nicer history to rebase it before publishing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
