So why isn't "pull request" a good name for a request to pull from a different repo?
- moonchild 6y agoThe mechanism is a pull, followed by a merge. But what's interesting about the transaction is that your tree is merged with the upstream tree; the pull is just an implementation detail. You would be just as happy if the merge happened somehow that didn't involve a pull, but you wouldn't be very happy if there were a pull but no merge.
