It's not really messing with anything fundamental about Git — in fact it's providing a very common workflow for Git users, just in a way that is confusing for people who mainly use Github.
Obviously if lots of people are getting confused something needs to be fixed, but I think this is fundamentally a minor UI wart.
- shiv86 6y ago> just in a way that is confusing for people who mainly use Github. As a user I am requesting to merge branch X into branch Y. What Github actually does is merge branch Y into branch W, with insufficient warning to the user. Gitlab users continue to have issues due to this unexpected behavior. I am astounded this problem has not been addressed in a meaningful way, so users dont counter this issue.
