Decision 15: Merge stacked pull requests in order with merge commits

  • Choice: A stack of pull requests whose branches build on each other is merged into master in order, each with Create a merge commit. The merges wait for the CI run of the last pull request, which contains every commit of the stack; an earlier one may fail tests that a later one fixes.
  • Rationale: Squash and rebase merges rewrite the commits, so every later pull request would conflict, and the commit IDs in the descriptions and the changelog would no longer exist on master. A merge commit keeps them, and each merge leaves master at the tree its pull request tested.
  • Applied: 5.0.0-rc2, the PRs #99 to #106 on 2026-10-05.
