Hi Geode Committers, A kind request for using squash commit instead of using merge. This will really help us in our bisect operations when a regression/flakiness in the product is introduced. We can automate and go through fewer commits faster, avoiding commits like "spotless fix" and "re-trigger precheck-in" or other minor commits in the merged branch.
Also, please use the commit format : (helps us to know who worked on it, what is the history) * GEODE-xxxx: <brief intro > * explanation line 1 * explanation line 2* This is not a rule or anything, but a request to help out your fellow committers in quickly detecting a problem. For inspiration, we can look into Apache Kafka / Spark where they have a complete linear graph for their main branch HEAD [see attachment] Regards Naba.
