Like most tradeoffs, it depends on the particular circumstances, I think. I don't have this set up in my current gig, because we have more pressing priorities.

Like most tradeoffs, it depends on the particular circumstances, I think. I don't have this set up in my current gig, because we have more pressing priorities. It is incredibly useful when you do have it, though. Generally it's more important for really large projects - IIRC Android is really strict about not merging branches containing any commits that break tests, for exactly this reason. As that implies, you wind up rewriting branches in this approach, too, but for different reasons.
