If you want to be sure, you do run a regression test, yes. > in those 5 minutes, 10 other commits have been made If running tests take 5 minutes, that either means you have ten different developers working on your code, or people committing to the main branch without running tests. Seems like you have too many developers working on the code for the size of the project and/or velocity of your approval process, or a spaghetti project (edit: or your tasks are too small) Removing developers from the project may decrease the time spent on merge conflicts so much that it makes you move faster.
