Please, when merging branches that will end up in the repo, merge INTO master before pushing, as opposed to merging master to feature branch.
Example:
commit 4158a412c3ed75c027a47996b52057e812e8b5ed Merge: 50e98da... 9b5eaf9... Author: Francois-Rene Rideau fare@tunes.org Date: Fri Mar 12 10:51:42 2010 -0500
Merge branch 'master' of http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf
Conflicts: README.asdf-output-translations
This is would be more informative if it had instead been
Merge branch 'some-feature' of http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf/asdf
</end of sermon>
