Would a merge instead of a rebase have made it easier to find the bug? (Serious question)

• salomonk_mur 2y ago
  Yes, most likely. Rebase hides the fact the 2 changes happened separately, a merge would make it much easier to see the different avenues that may lead to the bug. We purposefully try not to do rebases in my team for this reason.

    I'm not sure I follow, do you have an example where merging makes things more obvious?

  In this case it would not, you can see the commits between tag A and tag B either way. He simply didn't bother checking, either that there was no bug after rebasing or that the commits he'd rebased onto hadn't been released yet.
